I agre, substantially, with this article, though I'd add that voting as a source of information, rather than simply decision making, may well be integrated into everyday life. At work, i have used Condorcet count machines from the internet to help organise the Christmas lunch, for example: it didn't give straight unequivocal answers, but I think brought in a high degree of acceptance of the final outcome for date and venue.Also, intriguingly, I've recently found a new voting system:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Approval_votingWhich has the benefits of being quick and dirty, but a significant improvement on plurality voting. the reality is that voting is useful for finding out if a matter is controversial or not, so we will need to have votes: to decide whether or not we need to have more votes.
