Single [known ZEC holders](https://forum.zcashcommunity.com/t/introducing-coinperson-voting-one-vote-per-coinholder/58768) can currently satisfy the 420,000 ZEC threshold in ZIP 1016.

This ZIP draft raises it to a level aligned with recent coinholder-amount polling participation, and clarifies how abstentions are counted.
