For a plethora of examples, look at voting participation rates in democracies where people have the option of voting, as oppose to democracies where people are obligated to vote. And those are the votes that truly count and yet, people choose to not participate.
Why should it be any different on DR1?

Although this is going slightly off subject NALs, I am glad you brought this up. Looking at atendance figure of polls worldwide I notice the 'norm' is in excess of 25% - generally nearer the 45% mark. What is the involvement ratio on DR1? 0.5% or less? Maybe the desire to vote is deminshed somewhat by the greater confusion in what the voting public is being asked to vote on & the way the 'questions' are asked. THIS is the main thrust of my comments here on the Polls forum.
Get more lucid questions with the ability of those participating to make a valued decision as to HOW to answer & your voting responses might well increase dramatically. They will then certainly MEAN something.
Just trying to be helpful
Anyway, ............. WHOEVER said that DR1 is a democracy??
