Mar 29, 2017 at 4:07 comment added anongoodnurse Voting nubers are notoriously low on every SE site I frequent. A very, very small percentage of regular users vote. On one site with ~4K 'regular' users users, 165 people voted. And that was considered a good turnout. :(

Mar 24, 2017 at 23:46 comment added AliceD Mod @Kenshin that is a joke I hope. People would vote randomly just to be rid of it if you're lucky. If your unlucky they leave the site and never come back :-)
Mar 24, 2017 at 23:37 comment added Kenshin Perhaps voting should be compulsory for registered users. As soon as they visit the site it will say before you can action please vote ;)
Mar 24, 2017 at 12:31 comment added AliceD Mod @Chris the pinning is dealt with in the question, we'll more or less. But I understand it would be an unconventional thing to do
Mar 24, 2017 at 12:02 comment added Chris Mod The problem is that we have quite a number of possible voters but a lot of them are not active on the site now. Posting it to the main page would be off-topic (although I understand the intention) and the posting would come down pretty fast, as we cannot pin a posting. There is the box on the right which announces the election process, if people are not able (or interested) to follow this link, I am not sure, if the follow a posting.
Mar 24, 2017 at 3:51 comment added theforestecologist Mod I'm glad you posted this. I was very nearly thinking of proposing the same thing! 55 voters in the last election is pretty shoddy turnout :/

Mar 23, 2017 at 23:07 comment added canadianer I'm not opposed to the idea. You'd think they would make such an event more salient in the site design... like a big flashing red banner.
Mar 23, 2017 at 23:01 comment added AliceD Mod @canadianer makes sense, but that doesn't take away the fact the number of voters was disappointingly low last time. I think it's worth the shot
Mar 23, 2017 at 22:46 comment added canadianer I agree it would be good to promote, but I don't think a question is the proper way. There is already a link to the election in the "upcoming events" box and everyone received a message about it.
