minus-square@dermanus@lemmy.calinkfedilinkEnglish1•3 days agoNo, we shouldn’t. More voting isn’t necessarily better. It’s similar to the arguments people make for mandatory voting, which is also a bad idea. We don’t need more noise in the voting process. If anything I’d want to restrict the franchise to people with a certain level of knowledge but I don’t think it’s possible to do that in a just way.
