Take the test at DontVote.org and see if you are informed enough to vote. If you can't pass this test, it would be better for America if you stayed home on election day.
DontVote.org's mission is to combat the "Get out the Vote" movement that is pushed by organizations that would like to increase the number of uneducated voters to help their cause. DontVote.org encourages people to Vote, but only AFTER they have educated themselves on the policies and individuals for which they are voting. Voting should be considered a privilege and exercised with responsibility and discretion. Just like a final exam, responsible voting requires self-education and thought. When the time comes to cast your ballot, if you don't know for what or whom you're voting, then DON'T VOTE.
P.S.> Here is how I did on the test, which is comprised of 60 questions and allocates 350 points:

The "test" at dontvote.org is probably meaningless as it depends entirely on the test subject being able to identify various prominent political and hollywood figures by their photograph, instead of testing the subjects grasp of politics, current events and history. I fail to see how a voter's ability to identify an actor/actress is any indication of political awareness.

I agree with the earlier comments.
Also, it's hard to take this seriously when they can't even spell all the names correctly: It's Jolie, not "Joley."
I mean seriously....
