    Are there any ex (or current for that matter) elders on here who can confirm if they have viewed someone who has voted in a non-mandatory election as DA'ed by their actions and announced this to the congregation?

    The WT99 makes no mention of this sanction and seems to suggest it is conscience matter which cannot be interfered with.

    Of course the instructions to elders regarding political neutrality could trump this but I've always understood this to refer more to things like running for office or joining the military.

    If the press or a govt. agency had to ask JW leadership if they disfellowship members for accepting Blood the answer would be NO ! [But back home you would be shunned all the same and an announcement would be made that YOU no longer consider yourself a JW !

    Same with voting ......this covers the JW Org ass where Voting is compulsory - eg https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compulsory_voting.
