2 question about SR vote

[S1ep]

1. Due to no reward to vote for SR candidate, so how does a SR candidate gain competitive advantage to enter the top 127 (SR + SR partner)?
2. Does 'total votes' in the above pic include votes for SR candidates, if include, where do this portion of the reward go?

@S1ep for the second question. The total votes = total votes of the top 127 (SR + SR partner)

• Does 'total votes' in the above pic include votes for SR candidates, if include, where do this portion of the reward go?

@S1ep
Here's my understanding of your questions. Please point out any inaccuracies:
For Question 1, voting for SR candidates offers no rewards (as SR candidates do not produce blocks and thus generate no block rewards). As an SR candidate, one should attract community recognition through technical proposals, ecosystem contributions, or governance capabilities. This approach encourages community voting to help the candidate become an SR. Once promoted to SR, both voters and the SR will receive rewards, creating a win-win scenario.

For Question 2, there is no such concept as "where this portion of rewards goes". Rewards are divided into two parts:
Voting rewards: Distributed equally among all voters.Block production rewards: Generated by SRs and distributed equally to their voters.
Since SR candidates do not produce blocks, no block production rewards exist for their voters.

@angrynurd But the direct measure is votes，the contribution to community can not convert to votes directly and Financial gains are the primary driving force for votes to vote a SR. This will lead to a terrible outcome, If no one voluntarily withdraws，the SR and SR partner will be the top 127 ones with(or can control) the most voting rights.

Hi @S1ep, since @angrynurd has interpreted the reward mechanism pretty clearly, fulfilling the purpose of this issue, this issue will be closed. If you have any more questions, please feel free to add a comment at will.
