Well, you only control yourself.

In principle, groups where it is expected that you vote + where your
are asked if you bothered could tend to have higher turnouts.

However, once you actually are in the polling booth, then you can
somewhat ignore the issue of how the person got there.  (but it would
still have an effect on how you model other voters' behaviour.)
