​​Voter Turnout for all elections in Canada has been at an all time low, especially at the local level.  It is the Municipal governments that deal with most of our day to day issues and in theory is the easiest government to interact with.  It may be because most elections in Canada use the First past the post system which often favours the status quo.

It has never been so important that we as Canadians take time to not only understand and education ourselves about our democratic process but also participate in it.  We can no longer remain as quiet sheep if we want to retain many of the core values that make us Canadian.

This project is to dedicated to demystifying the Voting process in Ontario and educating voters on what the numbers really mean.
