Yes it the very small piece of freedom you give it in return for living in the best democracy on the planet bar none.
Your not actually forced to vote you are required to show up to a polling station and have your name tick off the list , what you do with yor voting slip after that is up to you.
Everytime people get a government they do like they roll out this old chest nut , the whole idea of a democracy is a government thats representive of the people not some of the people , all of the people , complusory voting helps us get much closer to that , than nations with out it.
