Well, as another option, someone already suggested not taking into account the votes of local residents.
Are locals not people, so their votes shouldn't be counted? There are many local Heroes players in Yekaterinburg, so maybe we shouldn't take Siberia into account when voting for him either, since it's so close...
I support multiple choices, but without separating the points. This will allow for a clearer understanding of how many people a particular city can gather, taking into account the "weight" of the votes of these people.
