It is compulsory to vote in Australia if you are registered to vote in your electorate however if you are not registered no one will come looking for you. even if you are caught out not voting you are sent a please explain letter and being in a place where there were no voting facilitys gets you out of it. In Australia if there is an election that decides on the next government Australians don't vote for a prime minister as such, but only fro their local representative to represent them in government. after the representatives are elected it is then up to them to decide on who will be PM.
