Hello Terry,

 TR> In Australia, we have complusory voting so no bitching later as the 
majority
 TR> spoke. We do have a preference voting system which 's pro's cand con's.

There is no compulsory voting in the USA (that I know of). Some
states in the past did, but very few. And that was years ago. Some
states and local municipalities use a ranked preference method of
voting, but no national elections, as each state conducts its own
election for congress/POTUS in the way it sees fit.

There is no minimum voting age, as each state or municipality is
free to set whatever age it wants to. Except for the guarantee that
all 18-year-olds be allowed to vote in congressional and presidential
elections.

What that means is that even babies can vote in the USA.

That is how 16-year-old kids won election to the Newark, New
Jersey school board, writing rules for other students to follow.

For Life,
Lee
