Australian Federal&#x2F;State elections are, I believe, unique in the world because of the mixed use of a) compulsory voting, b) ranked choice and c) apolitical election management through the Australian Electoral Council.<p>We are rarely happy with our choice of leaders (these days, at least) but these characteristics provide us with some protection from the more extreme elements affecting other Western democracies.

An innovative way to view electorates in Australia!<p>If the seat of Durack in Western Australia (1,629,858 Km2) was a country it would be ranked 19th in the world by size.<p>[1] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.worldometers.info&#x2F;geography&#x2F;largest-countries-in-the-world&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.worldometers.info&#x2F;geography&#x2F;largest-countries-in...</a>

Another one of those maps that fails to show that people live in cities. Land doesn&#x27;t vote, people do.
