If you're in an noncompetitive state, and aren't invested in any local elections, having a public record of not voting in this election may be more valuable than actually voting. This election, we have precedence: Cards Against Humanity is paying non-voters who are registered and "lean blue" (Registered democrat) to make a voting plan. therefore, le heckin Game Theory says you shouldn't vote. Next, Cards of Humanity is going to offer a bounty for every dead Cobra you produce.

if you want to take advantage of this elections offer, and you vote, then they have no reason to give you an incentive next election. if you don't vote, you'll have shown bad faith and they also wont give you an incentive next time. but if they don't give incentives to people who didn't vote they last time they had an incentive, that basically makes it obvious they're buying votes, so their rules will probably say the incentives are for new applicants only.

I'm curious what sort of information they're asking for. Could one potentially just lie and then get paid for voting for the Green Party or PSL?

yes, ballots are private, they only see the record of if you vote or not. they're not paying you to vote, they're paying you immediately once you make a plan to vote.
