There is no excuse whatsoever for the 'compulsory voting' system. There would be no excuse even if the electoral roll was accurate and there really was one vote per person.
It is up to people to vote. If they do not vote then they cannot complain.
Compulsion to attend the ballot box makes for lazy, careless, ill-informed voters who take little interest in politics and end up thinking that what they are told must be true because "X" said it.
