I don't understand the volunteer part on the poll...

Are you someone that promotes the game locally? i.e. a volunteer?
If so, I have more expectation that you would attend.
If you aren't a local volunteer, and you are attending, that's great to know too!

If the local volunteers (self-styled princes among men) aren't supporting the continental championships by attending them, then there's a potential problem that could be fixed.

Ah, OK.
It was either that or volunteering for something in Stockholm...

These could only be caught with the option "I am a [local] volunteer, but I do not attend", which seems to be missing from the poll

That's an awfully negative attitude for a volunteer.

There is already a volunteer list, and as long as the list of positive responses for attendance is smaller than that list, the organization knows that it can improve.

The poll is only interested in attendance, it isn't interested in those who can't / don't / won't find the time / money / vacation to make it to the event.

Then how do you make the difference between the volunteers who'll go to the event, but don't browse the Polling section, and those who won't go, and do / don't browse it?

(yes, I'm also answering because it keeps the topic visible on vekn.net )
