what you are asking is can you shame/bully people into voting. Absolutely not.
Sounds like harassment to me and
In New York bullying is defined as threats, intimidation or abuse.

I think you absolutely have to respect their privacy. Those who don’t wish to vote means they are a no vote and you need 2/3 approval to amend the by law.
Are you trying to embarrass or identify them to other voters simply because they won’t support the by law amendment? That’s what it sounds like to me.
Hope I’m mistaken.
