Voter Apathy (voterapathy.mp3)

During Canada's federal election on Oct.14, 2008, an historic low number of voters showed up at the polls. In this report I examine the trend of voter apathy with Canadians, focusing mostly on youth in the 18-35 year-old demographic. Speaking to Apathy is Boring, Canada's Research Chair in Electoral Studies, as well as Fair Vote Canada, leads me to believe change is needed to engage and involve voters in the democratic process.
