It strikes me as taking voting more seriously than than voting on the basis of a vague impression.

It might not be a measure of being politically active, though.

...or even not voting at all.

I'm curious about what proportion of LWers refrain from voting as a matter of principle, but I'm not sure whether this is worth putting in a questionnaire.

For that matter, I'm also curious about whether anyone was convinced to stop voting by arguments against it, as distinct from people who didn't vote and now had more reasons for not doing so.
