Not in the U.S., and one wouldn't expect one here. I will have to leave it to Aussies to search their own casebooks.

Thanks for your response. I've come to the same conclusion myself (about the right not to vote) on similar contractarian grounds (as well as for a number of other reasons). I've used the case of a war of defence as an analogy so we seem to be in agreement there. But I'm keen to learn about any legal cases where the right not to vote has been tested. Do you know of any?
