Muslim votes

It is a criminal offence with a maximum £1,000 fine for failing to complete and return an electoral registration form.

So why , instead of a fine, do the 60,000 London muslims (18% of the total) get away with not filling in the form? Not only do they get away with it but the British government wants to spend money encouraging (not forcing) them to register to vote.
