You can approach a man and tell him he can vote for you, or not.
You can approach a community and say, vote for me for reasons X, Y and Z, or not.
You can ask any man, community, or country to make a choice. And they will make it. Even if they don't decide they still have made a choice.
However choice ends where a gun begins. When you tell a man to vote or else, what makes you think he will pick logically? He will just pick anyone. You can make him act, but you cannot make him think, and if he doesn't want to vote for any one candidate or party, then he will vote simply out of necessity - not choice. As such a party may gain victory simply because through chance they had the maximum amount of votes, not because anyone wanted them elected.
There is no logic in forced voting. At all.
