I don`t think we have to worry overmuch about people`s motives for voting. It`s a bit like voting in a real election: your motive is really your own affair. Some people vote for a presidential candidate on a whim to try something different, some people vote for a party they are informed about and always support. Either way, the selection of the winner is beyond our individual control and so a random element is introduced.
As long as we follow these two album club rules, below, some people will be discussing an album from a position of knowledge, others from a position of ignorance. That sounds fine to me.

[*]Please do not vote for your own nomination; this is to prevent multiple-album ties in the results.
