I didn't know about witnesses, what they did and why it was important to vote in the first two months I've been active on Hive.
It was that I stumbled upon a blog of someone explaining this.
I don't think people are going to vote if they are not notified to do so and explained why.

I would suggest placing something on the main page that reminds people that voting for witnesses is important.
