The big jump on Saturday (300%) suggests that we make sure to have at least 1 of the voting days be a weekend day, for those who can't do it at work.
It doesn't affect me, but . . . .

Some people, with a sense of I dunno, consistency, voted no on majority voting and then abstained from the rest. Others voted no and then still had opinions.
Some of us assumed we'd be in the minority on issue #1, and yet didn't feel that that should make our opinions on issues #2-4 invalid.

Dost Gandalfe jest?
Because Saturday had *6* people. And if we're always wiggling around trying to grab a weekend day for voting we're going to get even more mired down.

Kind of, but it could be a statistically significant point. Are those really people whose voices shouldn't be heard? We really want to ignore 6.6% of the populace? Are we going to be democratic, or only democratic when it's convenient?

The generation that could change the world is still looking for its car keys.
If those were the only two points, it damn well would be. As an actuary, with this small a sample, would you consider 6.6% significant?
