Voter apathy concerns loom over Toronto election days ahead of vote
TORONTO — With 102 registered candidates, more than 10 debates featuring the apparent front-runners and around-the-clock news coverage, Toronto's mayoral election has clearly offered plenty to follow.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.
But Lydia Miljan, a political science professor at the University of Windsor, isn't convinced Torontonians will flock to the polls. Asked about his level of interest ahead of the June 26 election, downtown resident Don Fawke said he will"probably" vote, but isn't convinced any of the contenders are speaking to his interests.
He also expressed little sympathy for people who can't be bothered to vote and then criticize their political leaders.
