I think many fewer people would vote if they had to pay $3 out of their own pocket in order to do so.

Well perhaps fewer people would vote if they had to pay a single cent out of their own pocket -- would that mean that 0.01$ isn't little either?

A law compelling people to do stuff would be very unpopular, unless they get adequate compensation.

How much are these Italian ballot-counters being paid? Can we quantify this?
