Jason Brennan recently argued that universal suffrage is unjust. It gives everyone a say in the collective decision procedure. But not everyone is competent – for we know that voters are often ignorant, irrational, and morally unreasonable. Universal suffrage thus violates what Brennan names the Competence Principle: it is unjust to impose coercitive decisions on innocent people when these decisions are incompetent. Brennan therefore claims that we have a «right to a competent electorate». After having presented Brennan's argument in more detail, the paper adresses one critical question: can an electorate be considered as a collective intentional agent? If not, an electorate cannot have duties. And if it cannot have duties, there is no sensible way to understand Brennan's purported «right to a competent electorate». What is left of Brennan's position is thus rather banal: it is regrettable that some voters are incompetent. And nothing compels us to abandon universal suffrage.
