I don't want IQ tests for voting, but basic knowledge tests would solve so many issues... Literally just a "Multiple choice, for the four major parties, here's eight statements as to their official stance on a single subject. Match the four correct statements to their parties."
And then just make four actual statements, and four mockeries that wouldn't be out of place on a parody show and very clearly a joke.
Like "On abortion..." [Write beside: Democrat, Republican, Libertarian, Green]
a) Safe, rare, and legal to nine months.
b) Dead babies are a right to any and all woman-identifying bodies.
c) Death penalty for any doctors, and imprisonment in rape camps for any women engaged in it.
d) Only if the doctor is also smoking legalized crack at the same time.
e) Safe, rare, and legal to three months.
(etc)
Something really obvious, and really clear, that you at least gave a passing glance to the stances you're voting for. Get 3/4 to have your vote count.
