While compulsory voting was fi rst advocated by Alfred Deakin at the turn of the 20th century, voting was voluntary for the fi rst nine elections. Compulsory enrolment for federal elections was introduced in 1912. At a state level, compulsory voting was introduced in Queensland in 1915, in Victoria in 1926, in NSW and Tasmania in 1928, in WA in 1936 and in SA in 1942. Signifi cant impetus for compulsory voting at federal elections appears to have come from a decline in voter turnout from more than 71% in 1919 to less than 60% at the 1922 election. In 1924 a private member’s bill to amend the Electoral Act was introduced in the Senate and voting became compulsory in federal elections. The impact was immediate, with turnout at the 1925 election rising to more than 91%. Voluntary enrolment and voting at federal elections was introduced for Australian Aborigines in 1949 and in 1984 it became compulsory. 1732130 Stamp pack
