Yes, I know that many/most will not.  As to why they don't, it would be 
one of the following reasons:

1.  They didn't know they could vote.  (I find this unacceptable)
2.  They don't care enough to bother.  (Likely the majority of them)
3.  Some care so little that they don't read this echo, and likely don't 
read ANY of the Fido administrative echos.  Again I find that 
unacceptable for a person in that position.

Another factor which would probably make many of them not vote is that 
they (the RCs) don't know anything about the candidates and therefore 
it's hard to know if you'd want them elected.  I wish there was more 
conversations in here by both the prospective candidates and the RCs.

It's all part of the continuing decline of FidoNet and isn't surprising, 
just disappointing.
