    I noticed no No Last call for votes has been sent for either vote so far, which is usually sent around 48 hours before the end of a vote.

    Looking at graphs for past votes (e.g. [1] where one can easily see when
    the second and last calls for vote were) we seem to be disenfranchising between 20 and 100 DDs when no Last call for votes is sent, which is a significant proportion of the voting population.

    Many DDs might be only reading d-d-a, and might be used to using the
    Last call for votes as reminder to finally vote.

    I thought that the 48 hours was this night, not last night. I'll
    sent it shortly.
