As a totally off-topic point, I completely disagree with that concept.

If it's important to you, you would take the time to either look at
the web page or subscribe to (and ensure that you have continued
subscription to) the relevant lists.

I think it takes < 1 minute about once a week to click on a bookmark
to bring up a relatively simple page to check if there is an active
proposal. If you'd rather get it via e-mail, subscribe to debian-vote.
The choices are there, people. Participation takes time and effort. I
completely understand if you don't have the time, or can't make the
effort. That's OK, I go through periods where pretty much drop off the
lists, both reading and writing (there are probably a bunch of you who
just thought "He should do it now!" :-)). But as I said before, if all
you want to do is read the ballot and enter the numbers, I *personally*
would rather you didn't vote at all.
