I know how to solve this problem. Upload a speech by each candidate to YouTube on election day. At the end of the day whomever gets the least downvotes wins. Google's CAPTCHA and profiling will protect us from election tampering and make sure only the people who are allowed to vote will vote. Might need CAPTCHA 4, though. The one where you go through a DNA test to verify your uniqueness, then get an RFID implant for truly secure 2-factor authentication. I'm not sure where blockchain and IoT will come in play, by I'm sure we will will find a place to plug them in. (If by this point you didn't catch on that this was sarcasm, I'm not sure there is anything I can do.) There is a much simpler solution for increasing participation. Don't punish busy people. Hold voting on a weekend, over the entire 2 days. You will get a massive surge in participation. Yes, it will be more expensive, but that can be optimized. Heck, just add a checkbox on tax forms that says "if you support weekend elections, check here and we will charge you extra X dollars". You will get tons of money for this initiative.
