Demarchy

Demarchy (some times called a Lottocracy) is a government in which those in power are chosen by sortition (the drawing of lots). In such a system all citizens who fit the requirements (may such requirements be a simple vouching (voted for by at least one person) or to be a certain age) to govern, or hold a government office, are put into lots. When it comes time to appoint people to the positions the lots are drawn. This is similar to how juries are determined in the United States. The argument is that this system avoids rule by majority, and manipulation by special interest groups.
