I think they should use the ballots as an opportunity to collect more data. If you had questions on specific issues, I think people would be more inclined to show up and vote because it would be a good chance to get their opinions out. Just like 10 or so multiple choice questions on policy, and then what party they choose.

It wouldn't have to mean that the winner would need to implement the most popular policies, but it would at least let people be heard and a great opportunity to collect public data.

As it is right now, there is enough to dislike about most parties that there is almost a sense of guilt when you have to choose one. I think the above scenario would be a good way for letting people choose a "lesser evil", but add their own 2 cents.
