澳大利亚选举委员会因2025年联邦选举期间的未投票行为向超过130万人发出了通知 [1]。截至5月,已有207,000人支付了20澳元的行政罚款,总计约415万澳元 [1]。
澳大利亚实行强制投票制度,不履行投票义务的选民面临20澳元的行政罚款,或在法庭程序中被处以最高330澳元的罚款 [1]。然而,超过250,000名未投票者因提供"有效充分"的理由而被免除处罚 [1]。此外,约90%的合格澳大利亚人在2025年选举中完成了投票 [1]。
目前仍有710,000名选民未在截止日期前对通知作出回应 [1]。各选区的通知数量存在显著差异,其中Durack选区收到的通知最多,达20,000份,而Franklin选区最少,不足3,500份 [1]。
More than 1.3 million Australians received notices for failing to vote in the 2025 federal election.[1] As of May, 207,000 of these voters had paid the $20 administrative penalty, collectively amounting to approximately $4.15 million.[1] Australia's mandatory voting system subjects non-voters to either a $20 administrative fine or potential court penalties reaching $330.[1]
Among those notified, over 250,000 voters were excused from penalties after providing valid and sufficient reasons for their absence.[1] Approximately 90% of eligible Australians participated in the 2025 election.[1] However, around 710,000 voters who received notices failed to respond by the deadline.[1] The distribution of notices varied significantly across electoral divisions, with Durack recording the highest number at 20,000 notices, while Franklin received fewer than 3,500.[1]
