At first glance I think it sounds like a good idea, but would require changes at the polls on the state level in order to accommodate the additional voters. I don’t think people should be required to vote for a candidate though so a none option on the ballots would be necessary.Mandatory voting does not require you to vote for a candidate. It requires you to attend a polling booth and place a ballot paper in a ballot box, which you can leave blank if you do not want to vote for a candidate.
Oh, and you wouldn't want to put a "none" option on the ballot because that would just encourage people to cast an informal vote which is counter-productive to the voting process.

"That's disgusting. There were clean athletes out there that have had their whole careers ruined by people like Lance Armstrong who just bended thoughts to fit their circumstances. He didn't look up cheating because he wanted to stop, he wanted to justify what he was doing and to keep that continuing on." - Nicole Cooke
