Indenture perhaps, by some abstract of the word. But not slavery.
Voting is voluntary. There is no law that says you must vote. As bad as indentured servitude was, and it was often VERY bad, in most cases that was voluntary also. They could make jury duty voluntary, or hire professionals like they do in some countries.

People that resist jury duty are liable for heavy fines and even jail time. If you don't show up for jury duty, they can issue subpoenas and warrants and make your life hell. That's just wrong, but if you support it there's probably not much I can say to persuade you otherwise.
