Clarity of Electorate badge description

Question

Wouldn't this read better if it said:

Voted 600 times and 25% or more of total votes are on questions

Instead of:

Voted on 600 questions and 25% or more of total votes are on questions

Answer 1

No, as this would change the meaning. The badge requires 600 votes on questions, your suggestion requires 600 votes on anything.

From here:

Electorate

• gold; awarded once; same family as Civic Duty (silver)
• Vote on 600 questions, and have at least 25% of the total number of votes cast be votes on questions
  • Comment votes do not count

This seems to be an especially confusing badge, so here are some examples to address cases commonly complained about on MSO. Total is just the total number of votes cast (Questions + Answers) and Ratio is the total number of votes cast that are on questions.
