You're still conflating two decisions. To continue with your referendum analogy, someone may vote no on construction of a new arts center, yet still patronize it once it's complete. But one cannot 'vote' no on the license change and then continue to edit once the process continues. I cannot think of any democratic process where only the 'yes' voters are allowed to participate in the results.
