There are for sure, but in 2006 the vast majority on the non-votes were actually intentional no votes.
I would have preferred if the no voters actually cast a ballot, to avoid ambiguity but that's irrelevant today... if it happened today, you'd have to cast a ballot if you wanted to be counted, either way.
