A Century of Compulsory Voting in Australia: Genesis, Impact and Future de Matteo Bonotti

A Century of Compulsory Voting in Australia: Genesis, Impact and Future: Elections, Voting, Technology

Editat de Matteo Bonotti, Paul Strangio
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 15 mar 2022
Compulsory voting has operated in Australia for a century, and remains the best known and arguably the most successful example of the practice globally. By probing that experience from several disciplinary perspectives, this book offers a fresh, up-to-date insight into the development and distinctive functioning of compulsory voting in Australia. By juxtaposing the Australian experience with that of other representative democracies in Europe and North America, the volume also offers a much needed comparative dimension to compulsory voting in Australia. A unifying theme running through this study is the relationship between compulsory voting and democratic well-being. Can we learn anything from Australia’s experience of the practice that is instructive for the development of institutional bulwarks in an era when democratic politics is under pressure globally? Or is Australia’s case sui generis – best understood in the final analysis as an intriguing outlier?

Textul de pe ultima copertă

This volume provides valuable insight into how compulsory voting has worked over the last century in Australia and beyond. The collection includes contributions by historians, political theorists and empirical political scientists, and in addition to Australia it also considers how compulsory voting has been debated in Europe and North America. The authors address a wide variety of different aspects of the institution and offer analyses that will be highly relevant to all who take an interest in electoral institution design and voter participation. 
- Professor Sarah Birch, King’s College London

Political scientists, historians and legal scholars regularly examine facets of Australia’s system of compulsory voting.   But, for the first time, this volume provides a comprehensive set of analyses, spanning the history, justification, administration, public support and opposition, and — critically — the political consequences of compulsoryvoting. A long overdue and rigorous contribution to our understanding of one of Australia’s most important yet most understudied and undervalued political institutions.
- Professor Simon Jackman, University of Sydney
