Most volunteer committees have low voter turnout and usually little if any competition for the jobs on offer, so I don't think it's a particular reflection on LA.<br>
I personally wasn't able to vote because I mistakenly thought that I'd
joined LA when I subbed to the various mailing lists. My mistake,
although from reading the list over the past couple of days, I'm not
the only person who made that error.<br>

This article does raise a valid point even though it seems to contain a<br>

Why do we get low voter turnouts when we obviously have a much larger<br>
membership? If you didn't vote, I would like to hear why, no blame<br>
attached, just would be interesting to see the reasons.<br>
