Voter turnout for this year’s municipal election was really good
—The unofficial number of votes cast for mayor in Monday’s election. That accounts for about 60 per cent of eligible voters, which gives this trip to the polls the highest participation rate of any Toronto municipal election in recent memory. Just over 53 per cent of voters showed up in 2010, when Rob Ford was elected mayor.
Good voter turn out usually means that the people want to vote someone out of office in anger as if to protest. Looks like that’s exactly what happened last night.
