So much confusion about this. There was never a "vote" about it. It was more like a poll, which wasn't advertised across the EU, and on top of it was severely plagued by server failures.
To have a binding vote:
- it needs to be properly announced to all eligible voters
- be declared as binding, you can't tell people it isn't a vote and later on declare it is
- the platform for voting needs to work

Unfortunately, they left open what happens after dropping DST. If they had clearly written that the EU would return to the standard time, it would have been active back then.
Nothing happend. All talk, no action, as I wrote above.
