I saw some footage that showed people queueing (sp) for hours at 7.00am in the morning.

What's with that ?

In Australia it's compulsory to vote and the booths are only open between 8.00am and 6.00pm and in our last election I went to my local booth at about 12.00pm and just walked on in with no queue.

Maybe we have more booths (ie most local schools and community halls are opened as polling booths).

Plus less population.

But compulsory vs voluntary.
