Low turnout presaged for November 2
Last mayoral election, 38% of eligible voters cast ballots, a decline from a still not very impressive 42% four years previously.
It seems unlikely we’ll see a sudden surge of interest this time, with a lacklustre campaign combined with the delay in getting voter cards out.
Predict the voter turnout on November 2
- 31-35% (54%, 34 Votes)
- 25-30% (22%, 14 Votes)
- 36-40% (21%, 13 Votes)
- 41-45% (2%, 1 Votes)
- 46+% (2%, 1 Votes)
Total Voters: 63

A bit late now but I wonder if some of the responses are from spam bots. Kate, do you have an idea of the number of humans who visit your site regularly?

Not exactly, but a total of 52 votes Tuesday morning doesn’t seem excessive.
– or 63 votes before I closed the poll. That tallies with my impression of human interactions here.
