From Secret Ballot to Democracy Sausage: How Australia Got Compulsory Voting by Judith Brett

5.0

Breezed through this fascinating history of Australia’s electoral history. Learnt so much about the reasons our electoral institutions are as they are, and the debates that define their creation in the previous 120 years.

Great book to read the week of a federal election, has rejuvenated by faith in the essence of our electoral institutions (but maybe not our political institutions)
