Going with the decision approved by 34% is a bad move. There's nothing wrong with going with it eventually, but this is a sign that as of the poll, there is no consensus and more discussion / more options should happen.

If you decide to act on this 34% anyway, you are only just telling your community that their opinion doesn't really matter. Which might explain why 60% of the eligible voters did not bother.

agreed. I'm being pedantic on more specific conclusions, but it wasn't the best move. Even if I'm somewhere between "fine" and "happy" about this, personally.
