Should people be voting if they are not politically informed?

Enfranchisement, and all of the accompanying rights and responsibilities, are not a matter of education. It is stricly a matter of citizenship. It has to be independent of any type of means test otherwise you can means test anyone out of the process.
A better reform would be to conduct elections on weekends, over a period of perhaps 2 days, to allow more people to vote rather than making them que up before or after work on a given Tuesday.
A better reform would be to have a free and fair ballot access.
A better reform would be to have free and open access to debates for ALL candidates, not merely those annointed by the establishment.
