If you set a large poll duration, then more users will be unable to participate in the poll. We've been creating longer duration polls recently (2 1 year polls, several technical polls which last months).

On one hand, this prevents users who have been inactive (cold storage) from suddenly participating (somewhat encouraging these individuals to actively stake), on the other hand we exclude new users from polls with a large poll duration.

Perhaps this is causing low vote weight participation?

Thoughts?
