Any player who still is in the game can vote, but a player who is not in control of his capital is not eligble for a win.

That's Bullsh
Likely a misunderstanding, let me clarify. When I say "capital" I mean the fortress in your capital province. If your capital is under siege, you are still in control of your capital and can still get the rewards for this ordeal.

This rule was implemented to prevent no-brainer "vote dumping" to the nation that is likely to be gone by turn 25. I mean, you need to have access to a laboratory in order to get the items and to get use out of the gems that are rewarded. If the top prize would just almost automatically go to the guy with one province left, it would render the whole voting process and all of the politicing involved pretty meaningless.

Of course, as per rules stand, you can dumb your vote to a nation that's obviously a goner, but if that nation is not eligble for the win on turn 21 when the votes are counted, the win might go to the nation that you *really* don't want to win.
