Polling places quiet: Metro
Metro checked out polling places in central Montreal and found them quiet. They claim that only 31.7% of eligible voters had voted by 4 p.m. Sunday – disheartening, if true.

When we walked in to vote, we were the only people in the building. Two others came in while we were voting. Municipal elections don’t really bring people in.

I wonder if the four voting days have made it too convenient to vote – it’s easy to put something off when you can just do it later. Plus the spread-out days work against the notion of election “day”… Next thing you know it’s Sunday night and you forgot to vote.

I wouldn’t read too much into those before 4pm voter turn out numbers, today was such a beautiful day I think most people felt obligated to go enjoy it and voted later. I certainly went after it got dark and there must have been half a dozen people there also voting for the 5 minutes I spent in the building.
