1. The Framers of the Constitution debated in 1897 if the Commonwealth of Australia should be provided with the legislative powers to compel registration and/or voting. This was abandoned. 2. As the Commonwealth Electoral Act 1918 provides for religious exemption then WELSH v. UNITED STATES, 398 U.S. 333 (1970), 398 U.S. 333, WELSH v. UNITED STATES, CERTIORARI TO THE UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE NINTH CIRCUIT, No. 76., Argued January 20, 1970, Decided June 15, 1970 applies. That this provision is unconstitutional unless it also applies for non-religious objections. (I view this indicates that Judd v McKeon was wrongly decided.)

What is compulsory is applying for and recieving a ballot.that done duty is discharged. You can stick the paper where you like,deface,graffiti or trash can.

@russellhorsefield9199 Год назад

my Question is this. Is it compulsory to vote in a referendum, because at this stage I like to abstain ?

@shellyaus 2 года назад

where is the word compulsory mentioned in section 41?

@AussieLaw 2 года назад

Hi Michelle. Nowhere. Take a look at my video about section 41 as well! 😉

@shellyaus 2 года назад

@@AussieLaw therefore as per section 51 voting can not be compulsory

@JamesVCTH 6 месяцев назад

Section 41 allows those who have gained the right to vote at state elections, the ability to vote in Federal elections. It does not prevent compulsory voting. The right to vote does not mean you have a right NOT to vote. The High Court completely rejected this argument in 1926 in the case of Judd v McKeon.

@1darryloflife 10 месяцев назад

So Renato WHERE is the head of power allowing the Federal or State parliaments to impose compulsory voting? There is none therefor the law inherited from the United Kingdom prevails and that CLEARLY says that there must be freedom of election. You have failed on this presentation Renato.
