Political philosophy concerns institutional design, not contingent decision making. 

V: Morality

1) Practical reason is the only source of normative ethics. Only reasons can serve as the authority for moral requirements. Velleman explains, Velleman, David. Self To Self. Cambridge University Press. 2006. Pg 18-19.

AS we have...act for reasons. 

2) A reason is valid if it’s true for all under any circumstance

3) Universalizing the maxim that it is permissible to restrict the outer freedom of others would result in an irresolvable contradiction. Engstrom explains,
“Universal Legislation As the Form of Practical Knowledge.” Engstrom, Stephen. http://www.philosophie.uni-hd.de/md/philsem//engstrom_vortrag.pdf 

Now on the interpretation...the same freedom.

S: Respecting the outer freedom of others

Contention 1: Compulsory voting violates outer freedom.
Compulsory voting would force everyone to vote, but most non-voters vote because they do not want to
