There are a couple of minor improvements that I would like to propose, when the electoral system for national teams (NT) is in question. Please, give your vote and opinion on these proposals.

1. Active notification in news
There should be an active notification in news section above development calendar for all users to leave their vote in the elections - while the elections are in progress for the whole time. The notification bar should have link to the election page, and if needed to thread on national forums created for the purpose of the "current" elections. That way we would animate the voters more, especially those inexperienced.

2. Best-ranking manager first
In a current system, when more than one candidate apply for the coaching job of the national team of some country, if no votes were received by either manager (most common in countries with less than 20 users; 41 out of 98 countries currently have less than 20 users) - a manager who has registered to BB the first of all candidates, gets elected. In my opinion, that is a bad practice. Best-ranking manager first would be a better solution, as it gives at least some indication of manager's capabilities.

3. NT manager-sacking system
A game manual proposes the following (manager's popularity):

Dissatisfied with your national team manager's performance? Express your opinion by casting your vote on whether you approve or disapprove of the way he or she has been handling the team, using the Manager Popularity box on the team's overview page. For the benefit of the National Team and the community as a whole, if more than 10% of the users per country will vote negatively and reduce the popularity of the national team manager under 25%, a replacement procedure is automatically starting (with next-in-line election candidate being used as a substitute) . For countries with less than 100 users a minimum number of 10 votes needed to kick off the procedure. The procedure will not take place only in cases when there are no available candidates for replacement.

Currently, there are 98 nations in BB World, of which 36 nations have 100 or more users, 21 nations between 20 and 100 users and a total of 41 with less than 20 users! What I propose is change, as it is very hard in current system to sack bad managers in these small countries (with less than 20 users).

A current system functions like this:
Nations with more than 100 users (36) - if more than 10% of active users vote negatively AND total popularity drops below 25%, a procedure is kicked electing second-best ranked manager in elections.

Nations below 100 users (62) - if at least 10 negative votes are collected AND total popularity drops below 25%, a procedure is kicked electing second-best ranked manager in elections. There needs to be updated game manual to clarify is the second criteria needed.

A proposed system would function like this:
Nations with more than 100 users (36) - if more than 10% of active users vote negatively AND total popularity drops below 25%, a procedure is kicked electing second-best ranked manager in elections.

Nations between 20 and 100 users (21) - if at least 10 negative votes are collected AND total popularity drops below 25%, a procedure is kicked electing second-best ranked manager in elections. There needs to be updated game manual to clarify is the second criteria needed.

Nations below 20 users (41!) - if at least (or more) 50% of active users vote negatively AND total popularity drops below 25%, a procedure is kicked electing second-best ranked manager in elections. There needs to be updated game manual to clarify if the second criteria is needed. Now, it is difficult to interpret.
