five votes is way too many. personally, i think both citizen and senator should have the same amount of votes in order to avoid things becoming unfair towards players who can't afford to purchase a senator subscription. as some people have said previously, this site is supposed to be a democracy, and i feel that giving senators five votes would defeat that purpose. if senators must have extra votes, i'd say cap at two votes total, three at absolute maximum.

One vote for everyone, that's only the most fair, otherwise you can't call it a true democracy if one person can give more votes to the same person and sway results that way, people in a real life democracy can't vote multiple times either just because they're a CEO for example, it wouldn't be a democracy anymore but a system rigged by the rich

If Chris wants more perks for senators, I'd suggest maybe having senators buy tickets/tokens/chests at a discount or give them tickets/tokens/chests at each senator subscription renewal or maybe a B$ and diamond discount when they want to buy more B$ and D or more duel attempts idk just throwing stuff at the wall here to possibly give to senators that would benefit everyone more than giving them more votes during elections, because even if it was implemented it's a perk that's only useful every 4 months or so so still not really appealing, people might just wait until the elections to buy the subscription and then cancel it immediately after using their votes to help their friend(s) so it's not really a perk that would entice people to be a long term senator, which I assume Chris wants considering it's (assuming mostly) the senator subscriptions that fund the treasury

i agree with plush, i think there can definitely be more perks added for senators that don't include having more votes. i personally believe that everyone should get an equal vote in the how the site is run by electing our prime bimbo and state ministers as that is something that affects everyone. i don't want my decision to remain a citizen instead of a senator to change the site as a whole for me. paid subscriptions should be for added rewards and benefits, not something that puts down the users who want to remain citizens and do not want to or cannot pay for a senatorship. basically, i shouldn't be punished for not having a sensatorship currently. it should just be a perk for those who do.

however, if chris is hellbent on senators votes counting more, id suggest their votes count as 1.5 or 2 votes, not 5, that is a HUGE huge disparity. too huge to be sensical, honestly. 5 is very nonsensical number in this case.

Also more importantly, if the PB is going to have to run the whole GD site there should be some better benefits than a couple hundo every 4 months. Nobody wants to do all that work in the first place. Thank you Dye for taking the position, idk why you do. 
PB doesn't do it alone, yet only she is paid. PB can pick mods and 2 ministers who are there to help her. None of them is getting paid. Then, there are also admins and coders who are paid similarly as PB for their work. If take into consideration only the amount of reports players file daily and reading it, it could have been said as well why they do it too? Yet, they do. And lastly, one part of treasury goes to site maintenance. When count all of that, PB is fairly payed. Certainly not like for real 9-5 job, but duties, responsibilities and spent time are also less (if PB chooses so) and certainly more flexible. And there are also certain in-game awards.
These are all public info, you can check for yourself. You brought up interesting topic. Even tho this point might be off-topic in this thread it doesn't hurt to give it some thoughts.

It Seems Strange to give Paying users such a Big advantage over the Regular Citizens…
There Should be Equality between all Users….

I agree with the comments on this thread, senators should have the same number of votes as citizens do.
