I’m not sure it would be a good idea, even if it’s a benefit instead of a detriment.
Ignorant or apathetic voters with no stake in or care for politics will just vote to obtain benefits without doing any research beforehand. That leads to them either voting for the first person on the ballot or the name they hear the most.
A fewer number of informed voters would be more likely to lead to progressive changes, in my opinion. Uninformed throw-away voters adds noise and introduces a demographic that can be influenced by candidate popularity rather than their policies.
