Nah, go the other way. Make voting a requirement. You vote, or you don't participate in society.

Among other things, yeah, we really should make voting mandatory.

Yes. we. should.

The only reason to restrict voting is to keep "undesirables" from having a say in government.

In a fair government everyone should be represented. The only way to even approach that is to make it a requirement that everyone votes.

Maybe include an update to proportional election systems so that you can have more than two parties/better representation?

Definitely not a bad idea. But we gotta start somewhere.
