Personally I would make it illegal to not vote, you have the "right to vote", a government represents the will of the people, even if your option is to turn up and stick down that you have no intention of voting (abstain) thats fine, however you should turn up and vote. A government is meant to represent the people, how can you represent your people if the closest they have is 15% yes, 15% no and 70% whatever...
At least by turning up you can register that you have no particular preference (so either outcome isn't bad), by not voting you divorce yourself from the state that represents you, surely this is a bad thing?
