In Belgium, this is the case. The counterargument is that this way, people who have no clue about what's happening in the world will go to vote. Unfortunately, these are perhaps the individuals who are awake but just want nothing to do with politics, and as a result, we get a skewed election outcome that doesn't reflect what the citizens actually want.

Then there are the non-voters because they believe that no one, absolutely no one, is trustworthy in politics.

i’ve also met some people like this they think our country is beyond saving so there’s no point in voting anymore they believe it’s either a) there’s no good politician running or b) even if they vote the results will be manipulated

our government is full of corrupt individuals and in all departments there’s a lot of suspicious activities i have no idea when or how this will end

Political nihilism or nihilism in general is not supposed to be an alternative though. How good Times are supposed to come in the future if simply people give up on trying and just do nothing to keep that doom mentality?
I get one can feel tired of politics and the blatant corruption around one's society, what is why I believe it is okey for anyone who feels tired to get a rest of politics and bad news from all around the world, go and find some spiritual guidance and restore one's faith in humanity...
What is nihilism supposed to bring to us? It only eats away our own quality of life while worsening the same system we wished it changed long ago.
I would disconnect myself from polítics if I need to, but I would certainly continue to vote.
