CMV: Countries should have some sort of test to qualify citizens to vote.

I think that to qualify to vote, citizens should have to pass some sort of test. This would be nothing like the outrageous literacy tests given in America pre-civil rights and the grandfather clause would not apply. Everyone would have to pass it to vote and it would be reasonable.

It would test a few things:

Basic political awareness - I watched a video surveying random Americans and 20% approved obamacare while 70% of the same exact survey pool approved the affordable care act. This would make sure they know what the candidates even stand for.

General education - Basically are you smarter than a fourth grader but questions actual fourth graders would actually know. What's 5x3? Who was the first president/prime minister/whatever for that country? Etc.

Understanding of current events - Voters are shown the major current events and must literally just pick multiple choice what they're about. For example, abortion. A) Whether soldiers can abort mid-mission. B) Whether pilots can eject from planes. C) Whether women can abort pregnancies.

Obviously, there would be many questions and voters would get random ones to avoid studying only the right answers beforehand.

Also, I do not advocate for this in the USA or anywhere else where a constitution would contradict it.

The right to participate in the democracy of your home should not depend a person's education, political awareness or the person's understanding of current events.  The right of self-governance should be afforded to all people, from any nation.  The way that right translates to the individual is by way of the right to vote and participate in the democracy.
