oth2,056,001 votes cast in the advance polls - that's up 34% since the 2008 elections. The only thing we don't know is if it's the student/young adult vote that is causing this to increase. Thoughts?Apr 26, 2011 9:01 pm | Ontario, Huron—Bruce

othOut of 23.6 million electors in the last election, only 5.2 million voted for Harper's Conservatives. That's 22% of eligible voters, and 16.2% of the total population. There are 5.65 million Canadians aged 18-29. In the past, this age group has voted so little that politicians don't bother with them. If all of Canada's youth voted, they would rock the whole political system! Please pass on!Apr 23, 2011 6:29 pm | Ontario, Huron—Bruce
