In Czecho-Slovakis compulsory”- voting became part of the conc atitudinal system of the country. from the beginning of its ex- istence as a separate State. It applies to both, municipal, anÄ general alections; and the pezz)-- ties range from fines of 20 to 500- Czech crowns, or imprisonment up to a period of one month. It is anderstood that the number af abstentions has hitherto been sa large that it has been impractic able, if not impossible, to enforce the law rigorously. At the last municipal election - held-in- Prague, for example, according to an unofficial but reliable esti mate, about 50,000 persons (out of 484,680), did not vote; and the courts could not possibly deal with such an enormous mang of offenders.
*****
The country where compulsory voting has been most fully enforced is however Belgium. After a discussion lasting.soma. years, le vote obeigatoire Was introduced into the Constitution in 1893. The results have been remarkably successful. In 1894 at the elections for the popular chamber, the abstentions were only 5.4 per cent. of the electorate, 7.5 per cent. In 1896, 5.3 per cent. în 1899, and 5.9 per cent. In: 1900, nd this despite a great widening of the franchise. In fact, the proportion of voters to non-voters is normally higher in Belgium than in any country in Europe,. perhaps even than anywhere else in the world.
