Undertale's match with Mass Effect 3 drew 55380 votes, while Fallout 3 vs. Life is Strange drew 52185. The day before, Uncharted 2 vs. TWD drew 35938 votes as a comparison.

So 19,442 of the people rallied to the front page bothered to cast a vote in the main match, and of those 16,247 voluntarily chose to vote in another match that day as well. Which comes out to about 83%.

I'll admit that makes our Lock Out The Rallies theory not look so hot. HOWEVER... I'd imagine 95% of those 20k voted for Undertale first, and when they saw that go through they were happy and more willing to continue contributing by voting in the other three as well. Whereas if their UT vote had been initially rejected lots would have said "well then efffffffff this, Mister Marvin!" (because that's how UT players talk) and closed the tab.

Also for Monika specifically, the whole meme was based around Just Her so I'd bet the turnoff rate on hitting that roadblock would have been twice if not thrice what we would have seen in a similar situation for Undertale.

If I remember the format for Games 2015 correctly, you still highlighted all the games and then submitted your final vote. The only difference was that you could skip to the vote button if you felt content with not voting for every match. I think it was easier for them to vote for everything at once, as opposed to voting Undertale, and then going back and voting for Life is Strange or Mario World which would require additional effort. That's another reason I don't think requiring votes for every entrant works out well, because I think a lot of them in past already operated under that assumption.

Now, the Just Monika meme is a bit of a special case that only applies to Monika, so who knows if that turned anyone off. Either way, I'm not sweating Doki Doki Literature Club! in Game of the Decade 2020 just because that would be less likely to apply.
