Well Regensburg Castra Regina was in Raetia whilst Trier Augusta Treverorum was in Belgica!
Nevertheless although in modern Germany, Trier is very close to the borders of France, Luxembourg, Belgium and the Netherlands and not too far from the UK either.
As Svenja mentioned people should only vote for a venue they can actually get to. Whoever organises the event has to do a great deal. It is not fair to an organiser of a venue or indeed to those who want to organise an event elsewhere but lose out because of people voting for another venue they have no real chance of getting to.
And yet there have already been two voters who have selected a venue but have openly admitted here that they have very little prospect of going to it! :? In which case why did they vote and should their votes be counted?
