I look on voting as a requirement of my membership... something I do in return. Mandatory voting (with an option to abstain) is the least I think that we should ask of members.
Personally, I would not be in favor of mandatory voting under any circumstances. It's a nice idea in principle, but flies smack in the face of freedom of speech. An abstention is a vote and doesn't equate to a *choose not to vote.* I do however agree that voting is a duty that everyone in any group should exercise. But duty != mandatory.
