Voting is compulsory in Australia, which means that if you are enrolled to vote, then you must vote in all Federal, State, and local council elections. If you do not vote, you may receive a fine. The amount of the fine varies depending on the state or territory in which you are enrolled to vote. Here is a breakdown of the fines for not voting in each state:

• New South Wales: If you failed to vote in your last local or State government election, you will receive a "Failure to Vote" notice and may have to pay a $55 fine.

• Victoria: If you are enrolled to vote, you must vote in all Federal, State, and council elections. If you do not vote, you may get a fine of $92.

• Queensland: If you fail to vote, you will be issued with a fine of $133.

• South Australia: If you do not vote, you will receive an expiation notice for $104. If you do not provide a valid and sufficient reason for not voting, you will receive two more notices, and the matter will be referred to the Fines Enforcement and Recovery Unit.

• Western Australia: If you did not vote at a State election or referendum, you may receive a fine of $20.

It is important to note that if you receive a fine for not voting, you can provide a valid and sufficient reason for not voting at any time, and you will not proceed to the next stage of the process.
