Voter Turnout in the 2010 Municipal Election

Community Development Halton recently published four bulletins reporting on voter turnout in the 2010 municipal election for Oakville, Burlington, Milton and Halton Hills. Graphs of voter turnout over time show that Oakville is the only municipality in Halton breaking the downward trend. Oakville has seen a steady increase in voter turnout in the past four municipal elections. Voter turnout in Oakville was 40.0%, Burlington was 37.6%, Milton was 32.6%, and Halton Hills was 25.5%. Maps of each municipality show voter turnout rate by polling subdivision.

The four bulletins are issues of Community Lens, published in January 2011.
