this means that a survey needs to have at least one vote to show up in
the "Other surveys" listing.
Afaiks there is no real "this survey is actived" flag/indication in the
code - only "this is the survey that is running now" so looking at the
number of votes is the only hint we can use for generating a list of
"surveys that ran in the past".
