What does this setting do?
A fraction between 0 and 1: 0.5 means half the players present must cast a vote, otherwise the vote is void — regardless of how the votes fell.
This value is the real safeguard against a small, attentive group deciding for everyone else. On large servers a high threshold is hard to reach, though, because somebody is always busy. The result is votes that fail one after another — which leads some operators to disable voting altogether.
Which value suits my server?

0.5 (default).

What to watch out for
It counts votes, not approval
A no vote satisfies turnout too. How many have to approve is governed by the required approval value.
