While not the 90+% that I would have preferred, the 25% is still larger than some democratic political elections in some locations. That it's larger than some place does not make it good, or even good enough. In the democracies I know, 25% participation is considered to seriously lack in relevance and legitimacy. Typical editorials and headlines in such outcomes wax much angst on 'our broken democracy' etc. Needless to say, I didn't expect you to be 'quite pleased'. But I also don't think 'open voting' - however defined - or the lack thereof has anything to do with this either.
