Lowest voter turnout may get worse in The Pas byelection: Political scientist – CBC
Apr 21, 2015
The Pas had the lowest voter turnout in the province in the 2011 election
On average, only three in 10 people in The Pas constituency vote. In 2011, The Pas saw the lowest voter turnout in Manitoba at 30.4 per cent.
Political scientist Christopher Adams said in Tuesday’s provincial byelection the turnout may be even worse.
“We know when we look at constituency races in turnout that when people feel like their constituency is not in a competitive situation that it will have a low turnout,” he said.
