What will happen if you do not vote?

You will receive a fine
You will be banned from voting forever
Your tax refund will be withheld
You will lose your citizenship

The correct answer is: You will receive a fine

If you do not vote in Australia, you will receive a fine. Compulsory voting is a key feature of Australia's electoral system, which means that all eligible citizens are required to participate in elections. If you fail to provide a valid reason for not voting, you may incur a monetary penalty. This system is in place to encourage civic participation and ensure that the electoral process reflects the views of the entire population. The other options present more severe consequences that do not align with Australian law. Individuals are not banned from voting forever; they can still participate in future elections after missing one. Similarly, a tax refund being withheld or losing citizenship are not repercussions for failing to vote. These options do not reflect the established legal framework surrounding voting in Australia.
