On voting day, it may be a challenge to find a polling station in some municipalities as they dictate the number of polling stations.
In each of the 13 municipalities that make up the Capital Regional District, voting stations will be set up and ready Saturday morning., political science instructor, at Camosun College.
“You have a municipality like Victoria with about 90,000 residents and 13 polling stations. That seems kind of familiar, in line with what I expect for provincial or federal elections. Then you have a municipality like Langford, with about half the population of Victoria, but only three voting stations.”Next door in Victoria, there are 13 locations to vote.In Central Saanich, a municipality a third the size of Langford, will also have three polling stations.
Turnout for the 2018 municipal election in Saanich, Victoria, and Central Saanich ranged from 33 per cent to 45 per cent. That year just one in five Langford residents cast a ballot, 18-per cent, the third lowest turnout in B.C.CHEK NewsletterSign Up “When you have fewer voter stations, the lineups get bigger. And the sense, or even the perception that the lineups will be bigger, will be just enough of a disincentive that those marginal voters who could vote, or might vote, they are the ones who are going to drop off. And so you’ll see voting rates that typically go down.”
