45% people are good enough to be in Pune

Last week we voted. This 'we' constitutes only 40% of eligible voters. add to that around 5% who were turned back for lack of their name in voters list. Remove around genuinely ill people out of humanitarian grounds.
rest have no right to stay here. better they leave the country or be treated as ' non citizens'. I know there is no good choice of candidates, politics is at rock bottom, no issues, corruption. a feeling of what happens if i dont vote' etc.
But a way has to be found. a method has to be adopted. we can if we want to.
all this you have heard many times and may sound rhetoric. My suggestion is to collectively define penalties for non voting populace: or have incentive for voters. example
For tax payer: an additional 5k relief in income for voters, must record their PAN card no.
For Non tax payers: Free health checkup voucher at Govt Hospitals.
On penalty side: If a person does not vote for 2 consecutive elections, he cannot apply for passport and driving license or existing passport and driving license gets cancelled.
any more ideas?
