Nope. Reading between the lines, I think it is possible.

https://wiki.voidlinux.org/Raspberry_Pi#RaspberryPi3:_32bit_or_64bit_.3F

 It is possible ( and to some extent advised ) to run the rpi2
 images on you rpi3, as the rpi3's cpu supports both armv8 and
 armv7 instructions.

 With the rpi2 image you obviously just get a 32bit armv7
 system. That is totally fine in general and is what the
 popular raspbian does too. On the other hand, why did you buy
 a 64bit cpu in the first place? ;-)

 Be aware that some packages are not available for armv7
 (firefox) and others are not available for aarch64, so that
 might be a guide for your decision which one to pick.

I've never tried or heard of Void before, so I have no practical
advise to give you other than "go for it". Unless you have and it
didn't work. In which case: what happened?
