Australia: Fears of massive swing in voter backlash, News.Au (2010)
This article discusses the expected voter turnout in the upcoming elections in Australia. In 2007, 453,600 Australians did not vote (and 59,000 were fined), while 510,000 left their ballot blank ("informal vote"). In the upcoming elections, 1 million people are expected to shun the election, and this will greatly influence the outcome: every vote will count. The major reason for invalid votes is believed to be the language barrier.
