It's my belief that the only way this could work would be if you dramatically downscaled the number of offices in-game, perhaps even having to eliminate regional governments altogether. We're doing good if we can get 1 in 4 or 1 in 5 registered voters to hold office.

Such a proposal would result in maybe 60-80 active players who stay on the rolls between elections at most; what would happen to the electoral aspects of this game if you were trying to fill 40-50 offices with 60-80 players? With a solid chunk of even active people not wanting to hold office at any given time, massive deflationary action would have to accompany this not to cause total collapse - and even without such a collapse, it'd completely ruin many aspects of the game as we know it. With such a system, transitioning to a universal legislature/Congress would make more sense than having any electoral aspect remain (and let's be real, the electoral aspect is the game's biggest draw).
