Mandatory voting I dunno.
The rest are definitely good, I'm thinking just having a whole ass revolution might be easier than getting all this done, and as a bonus would come with additional benefits.

I would add:
Equal Rights Amendment
Reverse Shelby County v Holder
Reverse District of Columbia v Heller
Add ethics code for Supreme Court with enforcement authority
Discharge federal student loan debt and regulate higher education costs
Demilitarize police
Ban property tax based school funding
Abolish the death penalty
Federally mandated paid vacation, paid sick leave, overtime over 40 hours, and a ban of right-to-work laws.
Allow the Army Corps of Engineers to repair and maintain infrastructure.
UBI requires such a large reorganization of the economy that you may as well add democratization of the workplace, and it would get done earlier. I think both would be great personally.
You have about 25 items too many on this list.
Legalizing Prostitution just creates more Human Trafficking, as a result of allowing human traffickers to operate in the open under the guise of legality. We have decades of evidence that lead to this conclusion. We don't need to keep trying it.

Excellent project OP, this is cool
Mostly. I'm fine with some of these being left up to the states, like prostitution and marijuana, although I do think marijuana's federal status should change (from schedule 1, to a much lower schedule). Also, I think the highest tax bracket should be 99%, or even 100%. But that highest bracket should be a very high number, like 0.001% of GDP.
