    Any peruanos here? Peru has compulsory voting but are the fines actually enforced? What's up with participation still only being 70%

      In Arg voting is compulsory too but the fines aren't enforced. Yet we aren't that low %.

      Perucho here. Fines accrue and are tracked on some database. When you want to do some governmental tramite (paperwork), it will pop up on their system and they will not allow you to proceed until you have paid the fines. The fine for not voting is around 80 soles which is about $20.
