Thursday’s vote in Ontario may have seen the lowest turnout in the province since Confederation.
With some final polls still being counted, early data from Elections Ontario suggests about 43.03 per cent of eligible voters cast a ballot — or about 4.6 million of the province’s 10.7 million potential electors.

As of Friday morning, the Elections Ontario website indicated only 4.6 million out of 10.7 million eligible voters chose to cast a ballot in Thursday’s election.
That’s around 43 per cent of eligible voters.
