According to data provided by Australian Wool Innovation, 9530 voters of an eligible 46,541 voters had their say in this year's WoolPoll.
An additional 81 voters cast invalid votes.
It represents a total participation rate of 20.48 per cent.
In 2018, 13,506 valid voters had their say out of a potential 47,107, a total participation rate of 29 per cent.
While the number of valid participating voters was lower in 2015 at 12,912, the participation rate was still higher at 32pc.
Levy payers last month voted to retain the existing 1.5pc levy rate, rejecting calls from AWI for growers to support a 2pc rate.

The 2pc rate received its highest rates of support from NSW and Queensland, where it received of 31.15pc and 30.44pc of the vote.
Out of the five available levy options- 0pc, 1pc, 1.5pc, 2pc and 2.5pc- the 2.5pc rate was the least popular with all states with the lowest support rate of 0.96pc from Western Australia and the highest 2.6pc from NSW.
