Australia has mandatory voting. Failure to vote incurs a small monetary penalty of $20 for the first time, and $50 for subsequent failure to be a Good Aussie.

It seems like mandatory voting would also eliminate voter fraud, since there could be a technological solution where each voter could enter a unique ID into a vote-confirming web site, and confirm their vote was properly recorded.
