What’s behind low voter turnout in Canada’s election?

Preliminary data from Canada’s pandemic election is showing a low voter turnout, sparking conversations among experts around its impact on the country’s democracy.

As of Tuesday morning with 98 per cent of polls reporting, 15,993,868 of 27,366,297 registered electors showed up to vote — a turnout rate of 58.4 per cent so far.
