How many will vote on November 7?

La Presse’s Isabelle Ducas asks how many of the city’s 1.1 million eligible voters will actually get out and vote on November 7, and hazards a guess fewer than half of us will go to the trouble.

Even when city hall was starting to be revealed as corrupt under Tremblay, only 39.4% of voters came out in 2009 – and put Tremblay back into the mayoral seat.

Elections Montreal is hoping that by having four solid voting days – a weekend of advance polls on October 30 and 31 followed by a weekend of regular polls November 6 and 7 – it can persuade a few more people to cast a ballot.
