Maybe pay each person the same rate they earn in their day job.

So if a person makes millions of dollars a day they get paid millions from taxes but if an unemployed person does the same job they get paid nothing? I'm not sure that's an improvement.
I was imagining there would be a minimum and maximum rate.
This only works if they're forced to take unpaid time off for polling, or indeed if they're employed at the time of the election.
