Direct? Fuck no.
In a representative democracy it would be so that it's clear the governed consent to being governed

@matrix

I don't agree tbh, plenty of modern representative democracies started out with requirements to grant the vote like basic literacy, others had requirements on wealth and property, the feebleminded were not permitted to participate either, the more you removed these restrictions the more you degenerated imo

How many poor, non-literate people are making voting their top priority exactly?

@bagofshit
not many make their priority to have an educated vote, yet they do so, applies for a whole lot of people
