THUNDER BAY — Leaders in Thunder Bay are grappling with a sharp decline in voter turnout in Monday’s municipal election, after a strong majority of eligible voters stayed home. That well exceeded the average of around 36 per cent turnout in local elections across Ontario, which was down from 38.3 per cent in 2018 and the lowest since 1982.
In ward races, vote totals dropped by between 11.3 and 12.8 per cent in McIntyre, McKellar, Northwood, and Red River. “Historically, Thunder Bay compares well to other municipalities,” he said. “I guess we should be happy, but the fact that only half of the people exercised their franchise to elect their leaders is concerning.”
That’s largely because voters lack the “shortcut” of political party affiliation to navigate their choices, he said.
