Because we don’t have a real fair voting system, which can be easily tricked, I want to propose some adjustments:
1. No travel is allowed in the Election Day and one day before the election. [ at least 1 day ].
Why : if a party is comfortable wining in a town , currently all members and followers of that party will not vote in that town anymore, but migrate in other areas where that party is loosing and vote there, after that returning in their town. It’s not really fair to vote a mayor in a region where you are not living.
2. Just citizen with one skill at 3 can vote [ requires 15 day’s of playing ] [ Can be 2 also , but is best to be 3 , a bigger time emplies a better knowledge of the game and a fairer vote ]
Why : first because only people who understand the game will vote, active people who read platforms and choose the best mayor regarding activity and projects. Second because will be impossible to invite 100 friends in election day and put them to vote for you [ in this system you will need to make your friends be active for 15 days not just call them for 5 minutes like now ] , and this will automatically mean … no tricky election and a real struggle to attract the active players on your side. Last but not the least, this will make all mayors cater more to their citizens because in this situation they won’t have the same support from their party, they will not gain vote based on friends, party, or anything like that, they will be voted strictly for what they do.
By the way : in real life only people over 18 years vote, I believe all of you know why, so why should we let anybody vote here?
3. Additional let`s make joining a party an extra feature, let`s say only citizen with a skill of 2 may join one, to not just have big party with a lot of dead people, to see the real situation in all parties.
Waiting comments regarding the article and an official opinion about my ideas.

I agree with the moving conditions, it makes sence. But not with the second. The game is based on universal suffrage, not depending on game education or wealth (better understanding).I know, I would accept it too, but its not fair (it shouldnt be from my opp), but still, it wont work. Let them vote, otherwise all this eLife simulation will go to drain because of it.
Try finding a better proposal to stop the cloning manufacturing on election day.
I vote with this.
@ Jaarbeurs - this is the thing , isen`t fair in this formula because the election isen`t going under what erepublika citizen wants, it`s only go after the criterium : who have a better hi5 newtork in the election day.
1. not fair in cases of war !
2. acceptable
I agree.
Send also a mail to admin [ contact ] with this suggestion
Voted !
Universal suffrage in RL is limited in some ways. For exemple, children are not allowd to vote.
fair enough
@gabrielIp - true. then we should say smth.
along with this, I suggest we make a petition (not to be signed, cause unfortunately we cannot count on some stubborn heads and people that arent interested in voting systems) to send to admins, with the newspapers issue.
If we trully want to be simulating something, we should bring something from the outside (RL) , inside the game. As news from the general public, the voting system for newspapers should be expanded, and also the newspaper subscrition. I want to read RL news and i dont have a problem with people trying to be creative: I very much intend and have done sone everytime I had the opportunity to read an inteligent post and the silly remarks that come with it everytime someone new posts something that doesnt know the unfair rule of \"post only whats in erepublik\".
Freedom of speach. I want to write poetry, but noone should tell me that my rhymes should be about erepublik. its plain stupid. And I wanna share it only with you, for a bunch of reasons: getting ppl to vote for me, making ppl laugh, getting an escape of this tormented outside life where i have no friends and so on. (the reasons are purely hypothetical, obviously).
VOTED!
