Most apathetic voters aren’t on Lemmy. I advocate for compulsory voting with incentives (gift card/coupon) and disincentives (fines) that are publicly funded.
The issue with compulsory voting is that an uninformed vote is more dangerous than the lack of a vote. I get what you’re saying though, I want something that’ll achieve 100% turnout. I just don’t know the best and healthiest way to do that.
I think you’re onto something though. Maybe there could be an additional incentive to take and pass a quiz about the issues and where candidates stand. No harm if you fail it, but if you pass, there’s even better gift cards and coupons.

My hope would be that it would cause people to pay more attention and be more informed.
