Answer: Compulsory voting laws

Explanation: In Belgium, Turkey and Australia, but not only in those countries, the law on mandatory voting is in force. This law stipulates that all citizens must register and vote in elections. In some states, severe penalties are provided against those who do not comply with this obligation. This law has been implemented for over a century in some countries such as Belgium, where it was introduced at the end of the 19th century. Then in Argentina also from the beginning of the 20th century, a little later in Australia, etc.
