Voter Turnout by Sex and Age
This table presents estimates of voter turnout by sex and age group for the 2015 and 2019 federal general elections.
This study shows that there was an increase in overall voter turnout between the 2015 (66.1%) and 2019 (67%) election of 0.9 percentage points. Note that this result differs from the Official Voting Results, which is based on registered electors.
Because registration rates vary over time, it can be misleading to compare turnout using the number of registered electors from two different elections. This study overcomes this limitation by dividing the number of votes cast by the estimated number of eligible electors, as opposed to registered electors, which is used to calculate the official voting results. Comparisons over time then reflect only changes in participation, regardless of any variations in the registration rates. Please see the footnotes for more information on this calculation.
The data shows that participation of voters aged 18 to 24 decreased by 3.2 percentage points to 53.9% in 2019 after seeing the largest increase for that age group in the 2015 general election (57.1%) since Elections Canada began reporting demographic data in 2004.
Voters between the ages of 35 to 44 saw the highest increase in voter turnout, with an increase of 2.7 percentage points to 64.6% (from 61.9% in 2015), while voters aged 65 to 74 had the highest overall participation rate, with a slight increase in turnout to 79.1% (from 78.8% in 2015).
The full report on participation rates by age, sex, province and territory will be available this fall.

Footnotes
Return to source of Footnote 1The numbers presented in this table are based on the population of eligible electors, as opposed to the population of registered electors that is used to calculate the official voting results.
Using the population of eligible electors enables us to compare participation rates over time and across age groups.
Return to source of Footnote 2First time: voters who turned 18 since the last election and are eligible to vote for the first time. Not first time: voters between 18 and 24 years old who were eligible to vote in the previous election.
Data sources: Up to the 2015 general election, Elections Canada used administrative data from the electoral process to obtain a random sample of electors who voted, and linked them to the National Register of Electors to produce estimates of voter turnout by age and sex. Confidence intervals were calculated to express the precision of the estimates with the following interpretation: If the sampling was repeated many times, the estimates produced in about 95% of cases would be within two standard errors of the census value, which is the value that would have been obtained if a census had been conducted instead of a sample survey.
Changes to the Canada Elections Act under Bill C-76 require Elections Canada to prepare a compilation of all data of electors who voted on polling day and make that data available to political parties in electronic format. This legislative amendment enabled Elections Canada, for the 2019 election, to use a comprehensive set of data to produce these estimates without having to resort to sampling. Processing and response errors still exist, but they are negligible compared to sampling errors.
