Well since getting voted out seems to be impossible just stay in as mayor and RP as either a harsh grand moff or sympathetic fool. Could make for some interesting events.

That doesn't help me to get voted out. Both of my avatars are Imperial. I did have one of each, I decided I wanted to play both as imperials. That should be up to me, not a city where I am not longer a resident of.
I don't play this game to appease others, I play to enjoy what I do. I enjoy being a Mayor and politician, but I do not wish to do it there, nothing against them, I just don't like having my avatars in 2 different guilds and factions, makes it confusing and unenjoyable for me.
I'm asking for advice on how to motivate others to Vote. Another thing that was brought up was to raise the taxes in the city, do you think that would be fair?

with that much vote difference... you can only do a couple of things...
pay people to vote for the other...
pay new players to move in and vote for the other.
that is pretty much it...
harsh way
raise taxes so they will get off their butt and vote you out.
really really harsh way...
pick up and go

you have to do what I did. the city has to pay people to move into the city to out vote you to change the mayor.. Helpdesk CS will do nothing on this. it cost me about 150K to oust the old mayor but I did it in the week that I tried. you need 1 vot more than the other.
when you're ousted then the immigrant slave voters can leave at thier will.

Can't you drop novice poli? How can someone run that doesn't have the politician skill? That is... unless you're looking to be mayor of the imperial city.
Or you can max taxes until their motivated to vote you out. Either of those methods is better than damaging the city.

Update:
The city should update in just a few hours. I know I will not be voted out this week, BUT there is going to be a MAJOR campaign next week for the other canidate. So hopefully this will work. I'm not sure what they re doing, but we shall see. I'll post another update and let you know how it turned out.
Another note...I've been anxious to get out of mayoring in the rebel city, cause I am going to run in myimperial city. The current mayor is also the leader and doesnt want to do both, since I am 3444 Politician they have asked me to take over. Current mayor has no politician skills, so we can add nothing to the city right now.
Thanks for your suggestions!

Sounds like you have 2 uphill election fights on your hands, one to get UNelected, and the other to GET elected.
Good luck on both campaigns 
We're rootin' for ya to make both transitions!

Im currently TKM & DOC with a few scout skills to harvest... With the onslaught of jedi coming a feel a serious urge to drop everything and become a dedicated BH. Here is the template i want,,, let me know what you guys think... Brawler 4000, Marksman 4444, Scout 4010, BH 4444, Novice Medic, Smuggler 0040 and TKA 0020. I fugure with that, i'll have a broad range of offences and defences and retain the ability to use stim b's to heal myself. Please advise, any info is appreciated.

First off just a pet peeve your use of 4444 instead of just saying master is incredibly annoying. Now moving on....You're taking tka for no apparent reason. I don't understand at all why it's in your template. You're taking smuggler 0040 why?? I don't know. If you want feign death 0010 is all you need to be effective. It rarely if ever fails and you chain it up similar to intimidate with zero ham cost. You're going master BH so your main weapon of choice it seems will be pistols. You should be grabbing pistoleer for the dodge/state defenses and then considering some smuggler for last ditch. It works great against jedi when it hits. Drop the 0010 part of scout, another useless part of your template. As for medic... you've got zero mitigation vs jedi attacks so you're wasting your time with this. You're not investing enough boxes in medic without any metigation to reasonably heal yourself. Jedi's are going to be chaining 500+ hits on you and that's the lower end ones, expect upwards of 700-900 from decent high level jedis. the 1-2 300-500 heals you'll get off wont save you at all. My recommended template for someone like you who seems eager to get into the pistols would be this
Master BH
Smuggler 0040 (last ditch)
Pistols 3040 (state defense & dodge + gives you access to the geo pistol)
Hopefully this helps you a bit.

hehe, sorry about the use of 4444 vs master P Thanks for the advice, as you can tell i wasnt sure where to start. I threw in the 0020 tka for the dizzy knockdown hehe, i can do with out it. I can live w/o medic, the biggest thing a wanted was to be able to buff myself but thats not going to happen... So Pistols, BH, And Smug make a deadly combo..i'll look into that thanks

from what i've been reading jedi can block most ranged attacks, should i consider not being master bh but have just enough to hunt jedi and use the rest of my points on other offences and defences?

Really difficult to say dude. Pistols is great cause you're versatile and you can pvp without actually going after jedi with geo pistols. As smuggler you'll have low blow so you do have a knockdown without investing in the tka knockdown and the lengthy weapon switch delays would make your idea about switching up weapons difficult. The template I use is a master tka 3000 bh 0010 smuggler with novice pikeman thrown in for access to dots to deal with friends of the jedi who I'm forced to fight once my mark is dead. It's been successful for me but everyones different. Ranged is extremely difficult to play well since it has little to do with skill and more to do with luck/block %.
