Voter fatigue, acclamations could spell low turnout in Ontario municipal elections
Political parties spend millions of dollars to promote provincial and federal elections. But in party-less local elections, municipalities themselves are left to fill “part of that vacuum,” said Meslin, who authored a 2019 book about rebuilding what he calls a dysfunctional democratic system.
Meslin says he predicts this self-funded, creative and active outreach campaign can boost voter turnout by 50 per cent in Grey Highlands, where just over one in three people voted in the 2018 municipal election. The provincial election in June recorded its worst-ever turnout, while last year’s federal election saw its lowest turnout in a decade.
Amber Morley said it’s been an “exhausting” municipal campaign in Etobicoke-Lakeshore, the city’s largest ward with a population over 129,000 people. It’s her second attempt to unseat Mark Grimes, who was first elected in 2003.
