The following is my personal view: (the first two relate to "tech")

• 1 Strongly discourage adoption of social control media (not just by kids and not just foreign-owned social control media)

=> discourage adoption of social control media

• 2 Adopt only physical (with paper trail) voting

• 3 Subject political candidates to an oath of respect for imminent outcomes of elections

• 4 Distribute leaflets to registered or potential voters, reminding them of the importance of voting (irrespective of who for)

• 5 Provide incentives for people to vote (do not penalise those who don't; some countries do that) to prevent billionaires buying vote)

• 6 Prioritise physical and online safety for workers in and around ballots

• 7 Teach people critical skills about the media (scepticism breeds doubt about anything, even voting machines, but it also helps people detect obvious falsehoods or manipulation)

=> even voting machines

• 8 Give everybody a day off work (or let people vote another day if they are critical workers, e.g. pilots or medical doctors)
