New Survey Results on Canadians' Electoral Participation
Elections Canada has participated in Statistics Canada's Labour Force Survey in order to better understand voter turnout in Canadian federal elections.
Two voluntary questions on voter participation were added to the May edition of the survey to help us identify patterns and trends in voting and non-voting behaviours among Canadian electors.
The information will help Elections Canada make federal elections more accessible to Canadians, by supporting its efforts to identify and remove the barriers that prevent some electors from voting.
