I'll throw in my two-pennyworth as an occasional participant.
I rarely notice when nominations open, or voting starts. Because they start in new threads that I'm not subscribed to. And no-one posts any notices to the book club threads (like this one) which I am subscribed to. I could only notice them if I (a) remembered when they were going to happen and (b) then remembered to manually check the Book Club forum.
If you want more participants in the book clubs, make use of a central book club thread to post announcements and links to the relevant new threads.
It might even be worth asking to use the MobileRead banner announcements system.
As for nominations: Since only one vote is possible in the voting stage, I'd recommend saying that people are limited to one nomination in the nominations threads, with two seconding votes. That's nice and simple.
