Just for a point of reference, I taught social studies (including government) to public high school students for 13 years.
It makes absolutely no sense to encourage voting among the ignorant masses. If Joe has no interest in politics, knows nothing about the issues, and can't find the time or the inclination to education himself, why should he be induced to vote? Drunks are jailed for driving. Voting while under a self-imposed ignorance is just as dangerous.
