How to increase voter turnout

Agreed, and I don’t think anyone makes that ask.

This is an idea that has been discussed, but may require dev resources that are currently focused on higher priority efforts.

I think that is unfair for newer BNT token holkders, who may be actively engaged in the community. Instead, any exclusionary aspect should be based off voting inactivity.

This is what I think would happen, and it would be inclusive (@gdhurst).

The concept of voter decay is something @mbr mentioned and since I’ve become more familiar with it I believe it is a strong potential solution.

Longer term, I also would like to explore Conviction Voting because “voters are always asserting their preference for which proposals they would like to see approved, rather than casting votes in a single time-boxed session.”

However, short-term I think the simple quorum change proposed in Proposal: Lower WL quorum to 30% and remove inactive voters from quorum calculation will achieve our immediate goal of approving more WL proposals.
