What you don't take into account is that in oficial election the 50%+1 don't take in account the abstain and blank vote.
Anyway I don't think this apply for our system.
72h + 20% have my vote too.
Yes, the 50% vs 10/20% boils down to how the abstain votes are handled...
with a >=50% system:
1750:1250 pass
2000:200 pass
1500:1000 fail
750:0 fail
with a +20% system:
1750:1250 fail
2000:200 pass
1500:1000 fail
750:0 pass
I would personally prefer a low-turnout vote like 750:0 to fail rather than pass... and a high turnout vote like 1750:1250 to pass rather than fail... just my 2 cents
It doesn't really look like Abstain is used much actually. Unless there's a bug or something?
./dash-cli mnbudget show | grep Abs
"Abstains" : 0,
By Abstain, I meant, "did not vote yes or no", rather than actually voting to Abstain (I didn't even know that was an official option)...
I feel that if there are only 1400/3400 MNs voting, it is because the vote was only open for 3 days, and they did not see it, rather than chose not to vote...
I think if you have a vote open for 14 days instead of 3, you will see a higher turnout...
One budget had over 2000 yes votes, so we know there are
at least that many MNs (votes) wanting to participate...
