I don't see the problem with low voter turnout.
If people don't care enough to vote, they probably haven't bothered to learn about the issues enough to have an informed opinion.
Given the choice between a self selected group of "informed voters", and a group that couldn't care less about the results, I'd prefer the informed voters.
Personally I've voted in most of the elections I've been eligible for, but I've often left it blank when I didn't know or didn't care. For example school trustees are elected, I didn't vote for them, because I don't know who they are, or what they stand for.
