If we made voting mandatory -our- political system would find some way to use that as leverage to get folks to vote for their pet candidate. Troopers show up at your house, for example, to "politely remind you" that failure to vote was a crime, and that they endorse John P Shitstain for president. Just another civic service we'd provide. "I;m sorry Jane Q Citizen, though you technically qualify for public assistance you failed to vote on the Religious Freedom to Compel You To Church Services Act with it's coupled rider on funding for public assistance, that makes you ineligible". I could do this all day.
Non-participation is the final means of non-violent protest, when all other avenues have failed or are implausible.
