Input Needed: Voting Rules

I am considering making changes to the rules for voting on the challenge. The goal of voting is to select the best model for the specific challenge as part of a group effort. Your opinion of the best is very subjective, but, certain things need to be weighed upon such as the quality of the modeling, adherence to the rules and that it fits the description of the challenge. I would like to have your input on our voting system. Here are some questions to discuss:

-What are some ways that would improve the voting?

-How can we encourage more people to vote?

-Should participants be required to vote if they submit an entry?

Thanks everyone
