What about 'representational votes' , a sort of electoral college if you will... basing your vote's weight on the main sp toon of an account and where it is based out of.
High-Sec
Low-Sec
Null-Sec
Worm Hole
There has to be some mathematical equation to equalize votes for sectors of space that have fewer people in them and thus less representation. Just guessing here but if high sec has the most active accounts followed by null then low then wh space
again just an example:
High sec votes count at 1: 0.5
Null sec votes at 1: 0.75
Low sec votes at 1: 1
Worm Hole votes at 1: 1.25

Worm Hole votes at 1: 1.25 Why should some votes be worth more than others, exactly? And what happens with characters who aren't simply based out of one area of the game?
It's a different philosophy of representation- votes where there are many people should carry less weight so that those voters in lower population densities can also be heard. It does one thing- level the playing field. As for your second question- there will always be a place where one spends more time... it can be calculated. |

In CSM 7, a prospective candidate needed less than 1% of the eligible votes to get elected to the CSM. If you can't get even one percent of the electorate to briefly twitch a finger in order to vote for you, then you might need to consider that, no matter how much you clothe yourself in the colors of "hi-sec" or "miners" or whatever else bandwagon you jumped on, you're simply not a candidate that people want representing them all that much.
Sorry if this fact hurts your precious e-feelings, but all the crying in the world for CCP to make it so that everyone wins and gets a prize won't change it.

thanks for adding to the discussion?
Um, this thread is a place to kick around ideas for revamping the election process, right? What did you add to this discussion... exactly nothing but lotsawerdz... the Fail is strong with you Malcanis |

NEW IDEA.... just for sh!ts and giggles... current CSM members must pass the torch by nominating their successors and we the populace of New Eden vote for the changes we want made. A CSM member may only ever serve two terms- be they consecutive or spaced apart. Every time we log in we are presented with a polling question that must be answered, thus generating a consensus of ideas, for what is wanted, or needed, or hated, or whatever. |
