Agreed. Transitive voting in general is an elegant solution. Some methods even allow for an informalized candidacy where anyone is eligible to receive votes without prior registration. Add the freedom to shift votes on the fly and even run-offs can be informalized. The election then becomes an extended (even intermin- able) process of consensus making and re-affirmation. This is more suitable for open primaries of course, than for official elections.
