Technically correct, but a piece of pedantry that has little relevance except perhaps to try to de-legitimise the referendum result.
Democratic votes are decided by those who turn up and put a X in one of the available boxes. Everybody understands that, whether they vote or not.
To fail to vote, or to deliberately spoil a ballot paper, is to consciously put the choice into the hands of others.
