    I am making a story and in there the "election" system has no candidates or rather all are candidates. Here potentials and experience are measurable and the best are elevated into the position they are most likely to succeed.

    What is your opinion on this?
    What is the flaws(every election system has flaws)
    What are the advantage and disadvantages?

    How are people monitored and evaluated for their potential and experiences? Is there a "System" or is this just a man-made process/system? Is there some sort of global System/system where everyone is constantly and passively monitored? Do people need to carry a device with them at all times? When does experience monitoring start, from birth or once they take on a job?

    That said, if getting a job is a completely merit-based, then it isn't a true "election" because no one needs to or gets to chose who they want to fill a job position. Also, you didn't mention it, but can people opt out of being assigned to a job. For example, the MC may be naturally good at doing something (physically or mentally), but it's not something they want to spend the rest of their life doing. Or perhaps they have a personal conflict with a coworker or boss. How can they leave their current job and go to another job if the system automatically rates and pigeon holes them into their current job?
