Summary
New Zealands voter turnout is declining, despite mandatory enrollment. While over ninety-four percent of eligible voters are enrolled, only around seventy-seven percent cast their ballots in the last general election. This trend is more pronounced among younger demographics and Māori electorates. Compulsory voting, as seen in Australia, could potentially boost turnout, but its a complex issue with pros and cons to consider.
