It’s true that mandatory voting nets a lot of low information voters. It also encourages a lot of people to check the major party’s policies who otherwise wouldn’t bother.
I’m not aware of low information voters swaying the vote one way or another.
By making voting mandatory, it becomes mandatory for everyone to have an opportunity to vote.
In what country do people not have the opportunity to vote? Even if that is the case, why not just make the voting accessible without forcing people to vote?
It seems to me that there is a difference between telling someone to take and interest and forcing them to vote even though they do not care to do that on their own.

I just don’t see the point.
You don’t see the point in telling citizens to take an interest?
Ok mate.
