A Nigerian bishop has reportedly decided that Catholics who do not vote cannot recieve communion.
This is not excommunication, but rather similar to the way in which, as Joseph Ratzinger describes in his Milestones, Bavarians had to show a card verifying that they had fulfilled their Easter duty: not having the card meant no communion (and social isolation), but this was not excommunication.
