One system I think would be good is issue based voting.
So for example, there would be several candidates for the position of “health minister”, and everyone gets to vote on that.
And independently people get to vote for the next minister for education.
Other interesting add ons include voting for an abstract organization, not a person. One person that decides everything is an option on the balot, but so are various organizations, with various decision procedures. You can vote for the team that listens to prediction markets, or even some sub-democracy system. (Because the organizations can use arbitrary mechanisms, including more votes, teams of people, whatever they like)
Approval voting is good.
An interesting option is to run a 1-of-many election.
So you can cast a ballot in the health-election or in the education election or in the energy election or …, depending on which issue you feel most strongly about. (But you can’t vote on both issues at one time.) This has a nice property that the fewer people care about a topic, the further your vote goes if you decide to vote on that topic.
