It seems to me that it is very hard to motivate members who are not on an 'electable' place to even bother to do the effort of 2 clicks for a party vote...
Having the most members means nothing, a party that can truly motivate his members to vote(for a little reward of let's say 10 NLG or 2 Q7 weapons or whatever...), will have majority in Congress!

quite a lot of votes got removed. (without an explanation and no banned people) so this list is a little off.
Yeah, a huge amount of votes were removed without any explanation from almost every party in eNL as odan said above. :/ The same thing happened to eBelgium as well. Very strange.
Same thing happened to likely every other nation as I currently know...
30 minutes for day change, DemNL had 20 votes. After removal only 6. Very strange....
indeed! that can't be right.
I had lost one elections at same way, me and my friend The Valeyard lost many votes without explanation! http://www.erepublik.com/en/article/i-w-party-elections-lost-votes-2423996/1/20

This time, after receiving many tickets, the admins have admitted it was a mistake on their end, but it's too late to be fixed for these congress elections.

I assume this situation is different from your PP elections, since the problem now was still around. In this case they readily came into action after receiving a few tickets, one of which I sent, as PP of the most aggrieved party.
Guess there is nothing we can do. This is part of this game...
Did a little check of the Congress elections of the past months, starting Jan '14, as this is enough to see that there is indeed a larger problem...Stats only give the total of all votes casted, no break-up in party totals, but this is not important.
Jan '14: Total votes 138
Feb '14: Total votes 156
Mar '14: Total votes 144
Apr '14: Total votes 122
May '14: Total votes 122
Jun '14: Total votes 109
Jul '14: Total votes 133
Aug '14: Total votes !!! 86 !!!
June '14 was not a good month for total of votes, but this August election is extremely low.
The bast... s cost me 2.5 gold. Somebody send a ticket or something!
I was among those who sent in tickets. DemNL lost 70% of its votes, effectively rendering us meaningless in congress for a month. As PP I couldn't idly sit by...
Does someone have further info on this? Seems like all countries lost something like 20% of total votes...
In our election, the final result of DemNL especially needs to be cleared out, going from to 20 votes to 6 without semi-decent explanation is not acceptable.
Don't worry REL also lost over 10 votes

I read something about it has to do with the holidays maybe. Fresh cookies aren't accepted as votes or something, and seeing alot of people go on holiday, their browsers refresh their cookie, and that apparently is flagged as wrong voting... this theory was speculation yhough
Svenders already provided the right link in reply to GEN. DE LA REY.
It was a configuration error, causing many votes to seemingly come from one of their own servers, hence all from the same IP.
We lost 70% of our votes, much more than the other parties, hence, we will be seriously underrepresented this month. Democracy doesn't exist in this game, the admins mess it up...
I hope no parties bribe their own members in a way like the one suggested in the last paragraph. Voting shouldn't be rewarded. Period.
who is bribing who?
I hope noone is. But if parties start supporting players who prove that they voted (for them), we no longer would have a democracy.
Even without the "for them" part this would already have such consequences.
What about offering food for people who join your party, is that legal?
I'm glad that we still can have a discussion on the initial post, the messed up Congress elections due to votes being deleted, did no good to the article...
Why should somebody join your party?
What to do to make them do 2 clicks every month for a party vote?
I believe that if you can motivate players to cast a vote, you will also make them better players for the rest of the game, with a higher chance of staying in erepublik.
Plato says: "As you might have noticed, on this month's congress elections, an unusually high number of the votes have been canceled during the election check. Due to a configuration error, an upstream provider did not report the real IP address of the browser accessing the site. This resulted in large numbers of votes being registered from the same IP, above any reasonable limit, hence being removed by our regular validation scripts.
Our analysis showed that the impact on the final election results in terms of congress seats was minimal.
We would like to apologize again for the problems caused, and reassure you that we will be doing our best to prevent future problems."
