Is it too much to ask that voting be limited to people who in principle are eligible to hold elected office?

Is it too much to ask that voters be limited to those sane enough to tried for crimes if indicted? Or be able to be legally bound by a contract? Or who sufficiently respect society by abiding by it’s laws?

People who can’t pass on this minimal muster only dilute the integrity of the vote and invite cynicism and corruption in the process.
