Some thoughts:
1 - Get a dedicated domain for the page if possible, something memorable
2 - Make the instructions short/succinct, and easy for even non-techie people to do
3 - Move away from using multiple separate systems for submissions -- having to create something on GitLab/GitHub and then cross-post it to uservoice seems quite clumsy
4 - Have a list of the current ideas that are being voted for, so people can see the kind of ideas that work well
5 - Provide social media links so people can share their idea submission easily, to get more votes/etc.
6 - See if you can get a highly prominent sticky thread on the Raspberry Pi forums, with a catchy title
7 - Capture email addresses of all entrants so that you can use something like Mailchimp to send out a newsletter prompting for more entries (or to try again if people did not succeed in the past)
8 - Tweet tweet tweet, and get your friends/colleagues to retweet, get RPi enthusiasts/blogs/etc to retweet
9 - Have a reason for people to come back to your site, maybe a video series, maybe a newsletter with interesting RPi links from the past week, anything that is fresh content.
