While many voters faced long lineups during Saturday's municipal election, voter turnout was actually down from 2018.
Voters line up at a polling station in Victoria, B.C. for municipal elections Oct. 15, 2022.unofficial numbersProvincially the turnout dropped from 42 per cent in the last election in 2018 to 37 per cent this time around. On the South Island, even the cities with hotly contested races like Victoria and Saanich saw voter turnout drop while in Langford it did go up, but was still among one of the lowest turnouts on the island.
“Saanich and Victoria dropped seven points, seven points we’ve not seen that kind of drop in the last 20 years,” said David Black, Communications and Culture professor at Royal Roads University. Others said there wasn’t enough information about voting locations and times, many said there were too many candidates but not enough easily available information about them and their platforms, while others voiced a sentiment that nothing ever changes anyway.
