As an Australian living in the US now (where voting is ... interesting) I now recognize how awesome the Australian system is.
The other great thing not mentioned here is that elections are run by the AEC, a non-partisan commission.
They are also in charge of redistricting.
So you don’t have gerrymandering and you don’t have BS going on like what happened in Georgia where they “accidentally” wiped all the data 3 times when subpoenaed by the FBI.
Add to that compulsory voting, elections always run on weekends, and a thousand other small things and it’s like one country wants you to vote and the other does not.
