Question

In which of the following ways does voting in Australia differ from voting in the United States?

A.
In Australia, citizens are required by law to vote.

B.
In the United States, citizens must be 18 years of age to vote.

C.
In Australia, citizens are only permitted to vote for the head of government.

D.
In the United States, citizens must first pass a literacy test before they can vote.

Answer 1

A.

Australia has compulsory voting (citizens are legally required to vote in federal elections). The other choices are incorrect: the U.S. voting age is 18 (same as Australia), Australians do not only vote for the head of government, and literacy tests are no longer used in the U.S. and are prohibited.
