Based on the turnout numbers and a bit of unscientific number
crunching on the voting results it seems that the electorate was
rather more engaged this time around. That's _great_.
As others have said I imagine some significant part of that was
because of more than one mailing of the ballots to help everyone
remember. I think there were probably other factors too:
Would it be useful to have a not-so-scientific poll, to find out from
folks why they voted and why they didn't vote in previous elections?
Assuming folks respond to the poll :)

The likelihood that someone who choose not to do something is going to
tell you why they choose not to do something via a poll is going to be
fairly small would be my guess.
I think one would get a much better sense asking people if they voted
when they see them at summit or other live events and ask them why not
if they say no. (Given you have first of all qualified the questions as
allowable for conversation, with the person you are talking to. Voting
is anonymous on purpose. Also you would have to be clear in your heart
that you aren't interested in _who_ they voted for, as that information
is immaterial to them choosing to vote or not, in my opinion.)
Thanks,
Anita.
