Voter turnout in this province is highest when it comes to provincial elections.

That’s according to the latest Vital Signs report released earlier this week.

Voter turnout for provincial elections has remained fairly consistent since 2007, at about 60 per cent.

Turnout for the federal election saw a big jump in 2015. 60 per cent of the population cast a ballot that year compared to 53 per cent in the previous election in 2011.

This year the overall turnout was down slightly at 58 per cent.

Voter turnout is consistently poor when it comes to municipal elections averaging less than 50 per cent for the last three elections.
