A better solution to the low turnout problem is to either create an election holiday (either a new one or merged with an existing holiday like Veteran's Day) or move the election to a weekend.

This way, everyone who wants to vote can do so. If we force people to vote who are uninformed and really don't want to vote, they'll just end up voting for a random person or whoever they happen to recognize.
