I do know a number of people out there chose to "strike" against voting,
may be a simple way should be to say "voting is mandatory", and adding two options in the vote: "Blank vote" and "I don't like the way the vote is made" or something similar, allowing people that now don't vote for a reason a way to show they advice.
The people not voting could then be approached to know what happen and after that I agree for nearly all what was said is the initial post

I would not be in favor of a mandatory vote, especially as a reason to disqualify their membership. There are 1,000,001 reasons why someone might not or could not vote even though they were already eligible to.
Hmm, I think jdd has got something here. We are already discussing which contributions qualify for membership. A vote is a pretty minimal contribution, so asking active members to participate can't be too much. Also, there aren't really that many votes, it's hardly a major hassle.
What is the value in an oS membership? I've got one... many in this discussion have one. Why have one if you don't participate? What's the point? You don't receive any swag for being a member... it's supposed to be in recognition of contributions. I look on voting as a requirement of my membership... something I do in return. Mandatory voting (with an option to abstain) is the least I think that we should ask of members.
