The losing side gets to burn down [whatever % of the votes] of the [seat of government].
That part is not rebuilt until the next elections as an anti-hubris mechanism.
Elected officials casting your votes for you.

But the winning side gets to prosecute, convict and imprison all voters who voted for the losing side,,, |

Oh no, going on the British Parliamentary system someone will
be the Official Fire-Starter, who (following in a 400 year tradition) probably has a strange hat, a large stick to hammer on the door 3 times while declaiming "Oh bugger, oh bugger, oh bugger, where did I putteth thee matches?" |

That is hilarious, [2fries]. Technically, though, they're casting votes on behalf of other representatives, reprehensibly, rather than on behalf of the man in the street directly. |

Perhaps the person overseeing that process could come up with some sort of advanced fraud detection algorithm along the lines of "IF {number of votes > number of people} THEN {something is fucked up} ELSE {something may or may not be fucked up}. |
