Nomcom does use voting. Please see RFC 3777.
I am a member of the current Nomcom, and we tried consensus first and then used voting to reach our decisions. (I even learnt how Condorcet voting works :-)).

salary, they can elect ADs.
I disagree; short of funding candidates or reducing the workload (the latter, IMO, would be more appropriate), the list of willing candidates is a significant part of the problem.

The problem with voting is that the IETF does not have a membership list, so there is no real basis for running a "vote". The nomcom process is intended as a surrogate, randomly selecting motivated "representatives".
That is a kind of a voting process. First, you have to have attended a certain number of previous IETFs to be eligible for NomCom participation (which is not unlike the 'attend X meetings before you can vote' rule in the IEEE and other organizations). How the NomCom reaches consensus is not specified, but may involve votes.
