Low voter turnout, high stakes
Voting is compulsory in Australia, but even still, not everyone votes. In fact, the 2022 federal election's voter turnout was under 90%—the lowest since mandatory voting was introduced nearly a century prior.
In democracies like Australia’s, voter turnout isn’t just a number; it’s a safeguard. When fewer people vote, trust in leadership declines, marginalised communities are excluded, polarisation increases, and democracy backslides.
Join us, ahead of the election, to learn how University of ÐÂÀ˲ÊƱ research promotes political engagement––and protects democracy.
