I lived in New Zealand during the 80s. All legal residents were required to vote. If you didn't vote. 4-6 weeks later you would get a summons and have to appear before a magistrate to explain why you didn't vote. If it wasn't a valid reason you got a small fine or community service.

Which is stupid. Is it such a crazy idea that people who don't care enough to vote shouldn't have a say? Not voting can also be a protest against a broken system.
