Americans: Should voting be mandatory?

In the last presidential election, nearly 1/3 of the population didn't vote. The total number of adults that didn't vote (94 million), exceeded the number of votes for either individual candidate. And this isn't something that's new; this has been a trend for an entire century. I understand that some people don't support either candidate, or are for some reason 'protesting', but I think most of would agree that this trend is a bit ridiculous. So, should voting be mandatory? It would still be acceptable to leave the ballot blank, but every adult citizen would be required to turn one in (and these days, having a busy day at work isn't an excuse because of mail-in ballots and early polling). Also, if you agree that voting should be mandatory, what incentives would you use to enforce the policy (such as monetary penalties)?
