Brazil also have compulsory votes with fines. Fines are low but are a pain in the ass to pay. Also if you don't vote you cannot get some documents (passports, etc) and you can't take any job in the government. Voting booths are abundant and it's always holidays tho. If for some reason you can't vote you have to justify to the "voting justice"-related thingy. Usually not a big deal.
