merit-weighted electoral system?

[Jay Altair]

Hi, new here; I am trying to remember the title of a book which featured a character who participated in a merit-weighted electoral system, which gave increased weight to votes cast by voters whose record in a given policy area had been assessed (by some sort of AI?) to have been on the "right" side more often than not. I don't remember ANYTHING about the plot but I remember the setting involved a number of loosely associated space colonies/asteroid settlements/orbital stations.

please let me know if this rings a bell! thanks!

Hi,

It's not a lot to go on. But bits of the Foundation trilogy - especially the Second Foundation - run along this sort of political line.

Cheers, Greg.

Hello
Is this like the "multiple vote system" where you get additional votes for qualifications and wealth?
The Curious Republic of Gondour - Wikipedia

Or is it some system where one special vote equals (for example) ten 'normal'votes?

Anything else at all about the space society that you can remember?
