Color me confused… If they’ve provided a voting contact, then they’ve responded and effectively expressed a designation of someone that they want to vote on their behalf, therefore indicating a desire to vote.

I’m talking about the case for organizations that get a renewal invoice for the new inflated fee and pay it without taking any other action, indicating that it’s not at all unlikely that
the AP department received a pre-approved bill, tossed all the additional matter from the envelope (likely including the envelope) into the round file and paid the bill, never having brought the changes to the attention of anyone who might care about anything beyond paying the bill.
