Instead of fining people for not voting how about rewarding those that do, everyone's council tax goes up 50 quid and if you vote in all elections you get 75
of your bill. We could do the same for doctors and hospital appointments, put prescriptions up to 15 pounds but you get some back if you attend appointments, it might not be self funding but I doubt it would cost a fortune, might be a good idea to change the voting day as well, it'd mean the schools wouldn't have to shut as well.
