Sixteen-year-olds can learn to drive, get a job, pay taxes and be on the Organ Donor Register, but they are considered too young to vote. Should they also have a stake in deciding their future?
What about the best of both worlds? You can cast you own vote or you can hire a proxy to vote on your behalf. Obviously we would need some regulation on what is basically selling votes. But by making it an expense people are incentivised to do it themselves and you have the power to remove their proxy status at any point

That is actually what was proposed by the candidate @Zagorath@aussie.zone was referring to.
No different to the potential for the same problem today in representative elections.
