Generally, the top x number of people in a tier will have a better understanding towards the metagame than a mass vote. We used to use a Suspect Voting system for OU (in which ladder rank could qualify you for a vote) but after some bans in gen 4 that aged badly the decision was made to move to a smaller, more condensed version, the council. Not to mention, it is much, much, MUCH easier to get things done quickly without having to pass an issue through the whole of the forum.
