Lydia Miljan, a political science professor at the University of Windsor, isn't convinced Torontonians will flock to the polls.
Concerns about voter apathy are not unique to Toronto but have come into sharp focus after only 29.7 per cent of the city's 1.9 million registered voters cast ballots in the last municipal election.
"I think there is just fatigue out there for politics in general and for this election in particular, given that we just had a municipal race not even a year ago," she said. "I don't have a strong opinion on it actually," he said. "I would be looking for a centrist candidate, but I don't see a strong one there."For Pat Cugliari, however, frustration with local politics doesn't justify apathy.
He also expressed little sympathy for people who can't be bothered to vote and then criticize their political leaders.
