  Please think before you post - postal voting is rife with fraud today and will always be open to fraud and abuse.
  
  Certainly not the way to encourage participation.
  
  Compulsory voting does not guarantee 10% turn out - in fact no country that has this achieves a full turn out as there are people who would rather pay the fine than vote.
  
  The only real way to increase genuine participation in the democratic and electoral process is for politicians to make their policies genuinely relevant to the electorate, to actually listen and take note of what the electorate say and to stop appearing to all be the same and entirely lacking in any principles. Until politicians and their parties do that people will refuse to participate
