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...

IMO,
Masternode owners can vote yes/no on propersal and can switch their vote anytime as well. If masternode owner acknowledge the proposal and would like to vote because the amount of budget is hugh but still study in details, please vote No first to show that you are not satisfy yet. Later after you got answers and agree with propersal, you can vote yes. This should be able to do without troubles with changing current behavior of network.
For changing the voting behavior please continue debates and finalize by create proposal for voting , I believe we will see how the network decide.
Lastly, I guess your messages and idea posted here would get lost since many ppl will not follow to read all pages of this thread while the thread is growing fast and the topics are vary. Dashtalk forum could be a good place to keep your idea/topic for nice discussion.

Cool
