I mean, hypothetically, there could be ways to merge technocracy and democracy. People could vote on a selection of top experts for example. Or perhaps people could vote for what technical background they think is most important for a position and experts of those backgrounds are automatically assigned to the role

Just some ideas

So basically a government funded committee would decide who gets appointed to any public office. Alternatively we can just select a random person with a relevant bacgkround/degree..

Yes good points. If a specialist background is required for election, you get some degree of technocracy into it.

Also an easy way to legally prohibit people belonging to undesired social groups or races to hold elected office.

very true! Another reason technocracy has often been historically closely linked with eugenics
