I agree with you. But what can we do to encourage voter participation, especially in municipalities like Ut described? I've seen calls for everything from changes in the voting system (like preferential and ranking systems, where voters get to rank each candidate) to changes in the whole governmental system (like changing to a parliamentary system like the rest of the world).
Does anyone have any ideas on this? I really have no clue. I don't even know if any of those changes are plausible, or if they would make any difference if they were.
