Fewer young people register to be on the electoral roll

If you have to volunteer in order to register to vote, then the voting is most definitely neither mandatory nor compulsory.

Plus, there is a misconception that everyone is automatically a voter. You have to register for the electoral rolls first.

If this is true, then why is it called compulsory voting?
