Very strongly disagree

No, and voters should be required to pass a basic test demonstrating their understanding of politics in order to vote

The Australian Greens party would strongly disagree with requiring voters to pass a basic test on politics, as this could be seen as a barrier to democratic participation. The Greens party generally supports making voting more accessible and inclusive, and a test requirement would likely be viewed as contrary to these values.
