Barely an increase over the last election, roughly 1.9%. This makes it the 2nd lowest voter turnout in recent history.

    Because the problem in ontario is our ridings. My riding is fully ndp and has been for as long as i can remember. More people voting would have changed nothing. First past the post has ruined democracy.

    More people voting could have actually changed everything. I clicked through probably 2 dozen ridings on elections.on.ca > unofficial results and only 2 had a margin greater than ~7k and some were under 1k.

    Mushkegowuk—James Bay has a margin of 4.

    My own riding saw the NDP incumbent also win, but only by a margin of ~1600 while being one of the higher voter turnout outs of ~51%.
