Compulsory voting

Compulsory voting is a system in which electors are obliged to vote in elections or attend a polling place on voting day. If an eligible voter does not attend a polling place, he or she may be subject to punitive measures such as fines or community service. , 22 countries have laws for compulsory voting and 11 of these 22 countries enforce these laws in practice.〔(World Factbook: Suffrage ) at Central Intelligence Agency.

==History==
Athenian democracy held that it was every citizen's duty to participate in decision making, but attendance at the assembly was voluntary. Sometimes there was some form of social opprobrium to those not participating. For example, Aristophanes's comedy ''Acharnians'' 17–22, in the 5th century BC, shows public slaves herding citizens from the agora into the assembly meeting place (''pnyx'') with a red-stained rope. Those with red on their clothes were fined.〔(Malkopoulou, Anthoula (2015). The History of Compulsory Voting in Europe: Democracy's Duty? London: Routledge, pp.52-54 )〕 This usually happened if fewer than 6,000 people were in attendance, and more were needed for the assembly to continue. In fact, tools that enforced assembly attendance may have been inspired by Solon's law against neutrality and acted as a precedent of ostracism; like with ostracism, the obligation to participate was generally aimed at preventing the subversion of democratic politics by oligarchic or tyrannical forces.〔(Ibid. ) pp.49-52〕
