A large voter turnout indicates interest in politics.
A large voter turnout does not indicate interest in being informed or educated. I think it's pretty obvious. But just in case, here's an example:
- Voter turnout in the US Presidential Elections 1996-2016 : 53-64%.
- Voter turnout in German Federal Elections 1933: 88.7% (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/March_1933_German_federal_elec...).
I am sure you would not consider the electorate that chose the Nazis (giving them by far the largest share, 44%) to be more informed / educated than the modern US electorate.
