turnout in 39th general election in Canada
Turnout in Jan 2006 Federal election was 64.9% according to current results on http://enr.elections.ca/National_e.aspx
According to http://www.elections.ca/scripts/OVR2004/23/table4.html the turnout has been:
2006 64.9%
2004 60.9%
2000 61.2%
1997 67.0%
1993 69.6%
My idea of office voting wouldn't work due to people being from many different ridings, too complicated.
I say:
1. Make it a holiday
2. Make it mandatory to vote
