Voting test

Um... the entire voting system is based on individuals having the personal freedom to vote for whoever they want, for whatever reason they want. Whether their vote is based on some kind of political knowledge or ignorance is irrelevant.

Anyway, I think it's bad enough that we're flooded with political media to influence our votes... I doubt adding in an educational requirement is going to do anything but single out a lot of citizens (a lot of votes) and provide easy targets for subversive political education campaigns as well.
