Compulsory voting leads to informal votes and psephologists like Antony Green. Compulsive voting is hardly democratic especially in an era of fake news and fake wins/ polls and election calls.

One of the reasons we have such a high "informal" vote in Australia is we do not have compulsory voting. You do not have to vote if you do not wish to, just turn up at the polling station and state your name and address. Given this I am always impresssed with how low the informal vote is.
