What is the requirement for passage of a
referendum? Is it a majority of those voting or a majority of registered
voters? If it is a majority of registered voters, an abstention would in
effect be a no vote. If a majority of those voting is the requirement, an
abstention favors neither side of the question.

It is a wonder why no
one has written anything about the fact that most country votes equal a
no vote on the
referendum. Would this be a way to casually make it less convenient to
rural voters to come into town and cast a no vote (especially on a ballot with
no other elections on it.)
