I think you're underestimating those who choose not to vote, because they feel they don't know enough to make a good call.

I mean, there are plenty of voters who don't know enough to make a good call, and they vote anyway. I'm not saying the people who choose not to vote will become overnight experts in something they're not interested - but it encourages people to think about what's most important to them and which party/people engages them most on these issues.
Also, 20-30% of people choosing not to participate is not a feature, especially when a nudge in the other direction gives an incentive to participate.
