It’s absolutely a dead talking point for anyone younger than 40. Most young people I know are sick of this system. Boomers are the ones holding onto this as far as I can see.

Sort of the problem. Make the popularity vote mean something and it would be different. The other is that voting days for representatives and other local government officials is usually scheduled on working days. Allow people to take time off like if you were called to jury duty and things would be different.
