Voter turnout could be all-time low

Tuesday's federal poll revealed an electorate that seemed apathetic in terms of who should lead the country, with voter turnout appearing to be the lowest in the history of Confederation.

Prime Minister Stephen Harper and his Conservatives won a second minority government.

But with just under 60 per cent of the votes counted at 2 a.m. ET Wednesday, turnout hovered around 59 per cent. That figure was slightly below the lowest turnout recorded in 2004 at 60.9 per cent when Paul Martin's Liberals won a minority government.

Only two years ago, 64.7 per cent of Canadians went to the polls, also giving Stephen Harper's Conservatives a minority government.

The highest voter turnout was 79.4 per cent in 1958.

    负责投票的是个很老的老太太,找我得名字找不到,我就帮她找,她把每个投过票人都用铅笔画调. 我看了有我名字的那一张纸,基本上是名字以 Y 和 Z 开头的,象 Yang, Zhang等等,至少有三分之二还没有投票. 我投票的时候是8:30PM.不知道他们会不会来投票.
    • 俺四点去时, 投票的就俺孤零零的一人;等了半个小时, 数一数, 才三人(含俺)进门.哎,可怜纳税人的钱呀...
