The voteRefund function is important for the health and integrity of the DAO as it helps maintain a diverse voter base and combat voter apathy.
The contract was initially funded ~7 months ago with 12 eth. At time of writing ~0.8eth remains, which implies an ongoing cost to the DAO of 1.6 eth per month.
As the DAO continues to grow, with more voters and more proposals, it is likely that the rate at which the voteRefund balance is depleted will also increase.
I propose we top up the contract with another 15 eth.

Refund makes voting very accessible for low cost to the DAO. I think the governance landscape would look a lot different if users had to actually pay $10 for each vote.
the DAO should continue to invest in methods to lower the voting barrier
Haven't voted in a while. Was a nice surprise to have refunds. Let's keep it going.
A country that subsidizes the Uber ride to the voting booth is a country I want to be part of.
Thanks to Krel for putting this up! Vote refund helps ensure maximum voter participation!
