The anecdotal evidence from the four projects that did mention the
election in the anonnotice for at least some of the time was that many
people who were eligible to vote, but not permanently logged in, were
successfully notified.

Those projects were plwiki, itwiki, nowiki and trwiki, by the way.
Look at the participation graph and see where those projects land on
the chart:
