This is easily addressed by the sending of an invitation to get a ballot,
rathor than the ballot. That way only people interested in any given matter
will vote on it.
Another possibility is that the qualifying process for a voting member could
be such that if those registerd voting members do not vote on a matter, that
is send in a ballot with a Yes/No or Abstention on it, that they are
automatically removed from the voting register.
