Had an argument with an older guy at work about this today. He says people died so you could vote you have to.
I said if you go in there uninformed and just check some random box aren't you defeating the purpose of democracy. Democracy is where the largest number of people make the right choice for themselves insuring the choice that is made benefits the most possible people, if you don't have a strong opinion on what the best choice is than your vote is likely to evade that intent.
