    I'm wondering if there is anything we can do to motivate more
    people to vote.

    From Wikipedia's page on 'Get Out the Vote': [1]

    "GOTV is often most effective when potential voters are told to do
    so "because others will ask." Voters will then go to the polls as a
    means of fulfilling perceived societal expectations. Paradoxically,
    informing voters that turnout is expecting to be high was found to
    increase actual voter turnout, while predicting lower turnouts
    actually resulted in less voters.

    The red bar chart in the same article indicates something similar.
    Perhaps we should publish a list of actual voters afterwards, without
    their choices, or award badges on Salsa?

    Something like this, perhaps?

    A list of voters was also able to be found in contributors.debian.org:

    https://contributors.debian.org/source/vote.debian.org/

    At some moment the submissions stopped, and the issue was reported:

    https://salsa.debian.org/nm-team/contributors.debian.org/-/issues/29

    I have no idea about how to fix that, I guess contacting the Data Source maintainers:

    https://contributors.debian.org/source/vote.debian.org/members/

    or adding oneself as maintainer and try to fix the data submissions.

    Kind regards,

    Personally, I think it's totally fine for decisions to be made by those
    of us that feel like we have an opinion, and for those that don't feel
    the need to vote to trust that the outcome from that will be reasonable.

    I don't see how encouraging people to vote who lack either an opinion on
    the subject in hand, or the motivation to vote, is supposed to improve
    the outcome.

    agreed on both paragraphs. I also think the amount of participation for this particular vote was good enough.

    (and I'm thankful Russ will be monitoring future GRs to see how these changes perform in real life.)
