mandatory voting doesn't prevent you from spoiling your ballot.
But i'm with you - mandatory voting is a way to get the uninformed to vote, it doesn't force anybody to actually be informed about the issues that their vote affects, and will ultimately lead to more terrible candidates winning elections just because they have the best name recognition.
