Reactions after the elections results
•
by Plato
Dear Citizens,
On the 1st of February we did a communication marathon to cover all the full period of the elections.
The conversation can be found here:

Basically we tried to stay close to the Citizens, fixing as fast as we could each problem that appeared and banning reported fake accounts. This is how UN observer must feel.
The results
In UK it was a very spectacular race between Kaleb (incumbent UK president), and 93asm (leader of the party Now El313ct Winners). 93asm has a very strong community very determined to win, but the vote results where 107 vs 107. Knowing the rule that the oldest candidate in Erepublik wins, Kaleb kept his seat as President of the UK, but it looks like he will face stiff opposition during his term and in future elections. This is the first press release that he published after the elections:

On the other hand, 93asm, in an act of honor, announced his resignation from his party presidency because of the elections results:

In Spain n37 and Fredy had also a breathtaking finish (99 vs 99 votes). n37 won due to the fact that he was born few days earlier (older citizen takes precedence in case of a tie).
Just like Indonesia, where om_mudakir won the elections, in Spain, we found a bit of fraud with fake accounts that voted, off course we banned those accounts and deleted their votes.
In Norway one of the top candidates was banned for crating several accounts.
In Portugal lribeiro81 had 106 votes, 2 votes more than PhuSiOn9. another very close result.
We give our thanks to all the Citizens that voted or participated in the elections. Many of your actions are good examples for real life politicians and participation was on the rise in most countries.

Have admin fix the congress result, please? Thank you. 😁
Yeah, the UK was a nailbiting race! Thanks to the admins for working to hard to make sure the elections were as cheat-free as possible. But it was a realy pity there was so much cheating. What do people think about the idea of setting a minimum voting age?: http://www.erepublik.com/forum-topic-5871.html
Thx for the fixed president's page admin 🙂
Wish i could say the same for USA.
Thanks for beeing honest and fast work! Yeah, i hate that too when someone supports me with large trooper of clone or fake account. sad.
The best party elections I could imagine. But the next ones will be even better! (and I hope this time we will win...)
Spain is special 😛
wasnt it 94asm?
N.E.W was leading till a cheeky last 5 minute vote for Kaleb. Next month will be just as exciting.
The USA election was pretty intense up until the point where the admins banned some fake accounts that were supportive of Maalygos.
Well in Norway only about 29% participated in the election. Which is of course very disappointing.
If you could stick some sort of "Vote here!" banner in players profiles or some other place where it's clearly visible, I think that would help a lot. But maybe there was one and I just missed it 😛
@admins - which country had the highest turnout I wonder? UK was nearly 50% which I think was very good!
Why not report from the largest country on Erepublik, Sweden that is 😛.
Sounded fun and intense. I cannot wait to see how intense next months election will be.
Lets roll again ....
Martinski: There was no competition.
In spain the elections were breathtaking all the way through. I think, despite the doubts afterwards, that it was a huge experience. I want to thank the admin. for an incredible effort. You did a great job. 🙂
hehehhe yes meiko, they put ur guy on the top!! hehehehe just kidding... 😉
good work, fast and communicative... thx for listening all of our problems in forum thread
hallllloo kein Plan was hier gesagt wurde..... könnt ihr das übersetzen?
a little thing, i think that could be interesting for avoid the last fast votes with creations of false accounts in the last moment, not to show the elections results at the same time that this elections are happening. It is usual in all real countries, erepublik could take the example.
Way to fight the good fight Kaleb and rest of the UKRP, keep those 313 out of power.
i didnt even knew there was elections
hmmmm....
