andy,

on the link you provide you mused about the relative lack of response. 
here's the reason why i did not vote:

when i went to the voting page it was openly accessible to anonymous users.
  i filled it in but only after submitting it was i told that i need a 
membership. that ticked me off sufficiently to abandon the whole thing.

next time, please guard the whole voting form from anonymous (if you still 
insist on zopezen membership as a precondition, that is). if the 
membership requirement had been more clear i might even have joined.

i found that membership requirement a little nonsensical given how your 
goal was to attract a lot of people to vote. having more site members is 
great, but if you end up having people create accounts they will never use 
again just because they have to in order to vote then you probably agree 
that you overshot on your other goal of increasing site membership ;)
