I think it's more about uneducated votes (which you could argue are unqualified), but I wouldn't want to impose voter suppression laws to fix this. Hopefully they can come up with a way to educate people enough that it raises the quality of the votes, without reducing them quantitatively. :)
We see this kind of thing in The Netherlands too (which I'm from); a referendum about a trade agreement between Europe and Ukraine. Large amounts of "no"-votes were based on the argument that Ukraine shouldn't become a member of the EU. Which is really not what the referendum was about.
Although in this case it's maybe less uneducated and more fear-based.
