I've never participated in the voting for nation wars so I'm not sure how they usually do it but I sure hope they let you vote for as many players as you want. If they only let you vote for one player per country then there are going to be some weird results.

Just take a look at the WESG balance discussion poll to see how the results get screwed up when you only allow one vote per person. In the zerg poll Europe has 64% of the vote yet a NA player is winning. If people had been allowed to vote for multiple players then a European player probably would be winning the poll (we can't know for sure though). I believe the same problem happened with the GSL vs The World tournament last year where the Europe votes were divided among several players.

It's really important that people are able to vote for as many players as they want per country in order to ensure that the most popular players actually win the poll. Otherwise people will end up wasting their votes and the results won't accurately reflect the will of the people.

There was also a massive bug in the voting system where you could only vote if you had an account on NA server. If you only ever play on EU server, you couldn't vote. Also this information seemed to be pretty buried, I remember I had to search quite a bit before I found out what the problem was. Most people probably just give up.

You will be voting for 3 players per nation per day.
