I do not think this follows.

Very often people are tightly focused on the issue that is important to them and this process stuff just doesn't catch their attention.

Sure to process geeks like me this is both important and interesting, but I understand how others could find it so boring and dreary that they really need a lot of encouragement to finally say, 'oh, ok, how do i vote".

So if you happen to be one of those people, I understand.  And if you happen to read this message and haven't voted yet please do - you should have received a ballot - please make sure it isn't in you filter folder.

And if you have voted thanks.
