Should there be a test to vote?
Voting is an important aspect of political decisions. It decides the outcome of a country for better or for worse. If voting is so important, should there be tests to make sure people know exactly what they're voting for? Or do the civilians of the country have no problem deciding what's best?
Yes, there should be tests for voting
This position holds that there should be a test to vote. It argues that requiring voters to demonstrate some understanding of how politics works would make people think more seriously about their choice, reduce uninformed bias, and ultimately benefit the country.
No, there shouldn't be a test to vote
Tests to vote aren’t necessary. They take up too much time and effort from the voters. Plus, excluding voters who don’t pass the test will be discrimination. It’s not worth the effort and cost.
