My suggestion has always been the same: define objective measurements that candidates must reach, and reduce voting down to either 'they satisfy the objective measurement, or they don't". Regular voters hate power being taken out of their hands so shout down the idea.
Alternatively, have (reasonably) objective standards as to what factors the community regards as important in assessing bureaucrat candidates, to give closers better guidance on which opinions command much weight, and which are more idiosyncratic and can be accorded less weight.
I tried to do something along these lines for RFA a while back:
