The article explains in detail what to do and where to go for information on what to do if you are a first time voter.

It has links to the Governments website to allow you to register (the link works as I tested it out).

The link for the article is:

Found this article for reference on Wikipedia discussing compulsory voting – a history, arguments for and against. Excellent reference resource which is recent.
