Voting is analogous to taxes and should be legally enforced as such.

Well, informed voting is, but how do you reliably check if somebody was well-informed as they voted, to legally enforce it?

Only requiring informed voters to vote would be a potentially useful optimisation. As you point out that distinction does not seem to be practical.
