I would argue you make it a mandatory piece of the curriculum for voting age, or to be, high schoolers

Researching and reading all of the supportive material for a ballot's fill of decisions is a skill and effort

Detailing how to develop that skill and establishing that effort as habit could affect students to continue to keep an interesting in voting

Take your time with each element of the next vote's ballot

let the students discuss multiple viewpoints and coach a civil fact based discourse
