NO.

It makes voting a chore, not a choice and instead what you get is people donkey voting, voting for retarded candidates because they're the most entertaining and more and more detrimental populist campaigning. I tell you, compulsory voting does not make voters more informed. Instead, all the uninformed people are voting as well. The politicians are trying to be everything to everyone and it does not make for good politics.

Unlike current elections where only informed people vote Roll Eyes
Well obviously that's not the case but those who are voting generally would be somewhat more informed than the non-voting population.
