Having scrutineered at a couple of elections, I can say that those who disapprove of being forced to vote end up voting informally. That is, they add another box and write in someone like Mickey Mouse or they draw a cock and balls on the ballot paper or write "get fucked". So their vote doesn't count anyway.

To add another degree of difficulty, 3.5 million votes have been pre-cast. Several pollsters have suggested that they won't be able to call the election at all on Saturday night because those votes will not have been counted. Anyone planning a "Don's" party should probably organise some alternative entertainment.
