Great contribution to the article on election! The three paragraphs are clearly about different aspects of the undemocratic nature of elections, and each builds well on the previous on. The lead also nicely refers to your new section! Here are a few minor thoughts that I had on your contribution:

- In your opening line, could you specify the context in which there is a predominance of elections (i.e. "the predominance of elections as the selection method in modern democracies")? And qualify that number of scholars who argue this (i.e. Some scholars...)?

- Could you add a sentence about why opinion shifted on election/consent in the 18th century? I imagine it has something to do with the rationalism or some other Enlightenment idea.

- I am not sure about the format of some of your references. Can you put a footnote half way through a sentence? (line 1)

- I think that you could specify the type of "selection" you are talking about in your last paragraph (i.e. "The extent to which sortition should be the dominant mode of democratic selection...")

- Is the link to Oligarchy that you included a little unnatural and long?

Overall, really nice range of sources and I appreciate the clear signposting you use to distinguish signposting from fact. Cheers for that!
