Not exactly, but it was about 30% yes IIRC. At the time the rule was that a vote not cast counted as a no vote, so there's no way to distinguish between no voters and apathy on that vote.Originally Posted by word302
Rick. Do you happen to remember what the voter participation percentage was on that vote? Just curious.
I believe the rule was subsequently changed, so as I understand it in any such election today you only need a majority of the CAST ballots, so actually it would be easier to pull off today than in 2006 (apathy doesn't count as a no vote).
