In Australia, voting in a referendum is compulsory. If you do not vote at a state election or referendum, you may receive a fine. The process for dealing with a failure to vote varies by state, but generally involves receiving an "apparent failure to vote notice" followed by an "expiation notice" with a fine of around $100. If you provide a valid and sufficient reason for not voting, you will not receive a fine. The fine for not voting in Victoria is $92. It is important to respond to any notices you receive, as ignoring them can result in a fine. However, it is important to note that failing to vote or casting an informal vote will not count as a "yes" vote in a referendum.
