«drive on the left side; stop on red; attend the DMV for an eye-test (if you're of a certain age)»
These are only if you want to drive on a public road.
Assuming the road indeed belongs to the state (which is in doubt, but anyway), if you go on the road despite it belonging to others, then you either obey the owner's conditions for being there or you are trespassing.
These conditions are intended to avoid harming other road users.
You can do nobody harm if you stay in bed at your own home.
«Its that is obviates the needs of the candidates to get them to vote»
That's not a "need" - that's their perverse personal desire.
To avoid a US style hoopla, all you need is to expect political parties to abide by the same privacy and keeping-the-peace laws as expected of anyone else.
Compulsory voting for the reason you mentioned is akin to legislating "it is an offence to walk alone in the street because some thugs there may want to knife you".
