(snip)
A system that does not scare people away because of its complexity or added work for the voter (as voter apathy is a problem), but is still fair and good? Is the current system sufficient? Or should we focus more on matters to reduce the number of candidates on the ballot and not change the election system itself?
I would appreciate your input on this matter.
Right now I hear alot of voter apathy because 'my vote doen't count since the CSM is for NULL SEC alliances not me in HI SEC'
of those that know what a CSM is.
Although TBH I almost as often hear 'What is a CSM?' question just as often if not more in HI SECwhere most of the voters are & Im willing to bet the lowest voing tun outs are too.
I was suggestioning that a electoral district may help so we'd have regional CSMs but of course the fear of gaming such a voting system is a justiiable retort to the idea of it unless there could be a way in the game mechanics to determine what region a account should vote in.

The current system is not broken. It represents EVE and represents it quite fairly. .
TBH I think any pure popular voting systems for parlamentary representation is broken uness you have regional safeguards which the EVE system most certainly does not.

No one is going to trust a CSM based on this "new and better" system.
Noone trusts the current system except those that are now in power.

That sort of thing. Nothing terribly invasive or frequent, but enough to make sure as many people are in on this as possible. Aye, we've planned on doing this once. However, increasing the size of data the database has to store by some % was not appealing to the DB guys. How about using the ingame Calendar? .
Does anyoneuse the in gamecalendar? In the past 2-3 years I've played the game I think I clocked on it 3 times ( one if you don't count the time I clicked on it due to lag& not knowing where my mouse wason the screen )

Why not make voting a requirement -can't log in until you've cast your vote for CSM...
If people don't vote, if they don't get involved in the election process, then do they deserve to be represented? Seems to me that you're trying to give a voice to people who don't want to speak, and at the same time suppress the groups that want to be involved. You're basically punishing large power blocks (aka Goons) for giving a ****... Hey, this is actually a good post. Lots of sense made here. You'll get over looked dude. Sorry, the people of this thread are too busy dongewaving. Except for the fact that the people who don't give a **** (which seems to be a large majority of the players out there) will be looking for a "bother me later, just let me log in and play" (aka remind me next login) button, a "I don't give a ****" (aka abstain) button, or just mash the first face which looks attractive of the list of candidates. This'll definitely improve voting.
This, ladies and gentlemen, is how you post if you want to make no sense whatsoever.
See I can do that too Zim

Sorry that I care about HI SEC then 
More then I care about the area of HI SEC though I really care that it is a large population of Eve & its nerfing without representation could cause alot of unintended consequences. Letting CCP be the de facto CSM reps ( which is the current situation IMHO) is inviting a backlash because of CCP's glacial response times
