Perhaps add a choice on each ballot of "Abstain" or "Not enough<br>
familiarity with issue/candidates to make informed decision", really the<br>
same thing. Even this change could cause some issues if enough people<br>
actually use it and there are bylaws clauses regarding majority of votes<br>
cast, however.<br>
<br>
IMHO, leave it alone. Lack of participation in the election may just be<br>
a sign that the "silent majority" is happy.<br>
