Oddities in the election system message

Question

I am not sure if moderators can change the system message calling for voting, but if possible, please consider changing the current message:

Cast your final vote in the Theoretical Computer Science 2011 community moderator election!

to something along

Cast your vote in the Theoretical Computer Science 2011 community moderator election if you have at least 150 reputation points!

The proposed changes are:

Primary proposal: Add “if you have at least 150 reputation points” because otherwise you are asking people with <150 rep points to do something you disallow, which is not nice.
Secondary proposal: Change “final vote” to simply “vote” because we did not have the primary phase.

Related to the first item, a user of Meta Stack Overflow had proposed something similar in Don't have Stack Overflow propose that I vote in the moderator election when I don't have the reputation to do so. Unlike that post, I am not asking to change the system message depending on the user’s reputation points.
