Ontario just can’t get enough of those Ford bros!
While the Progressive Conservatives may have won a sweeping victory Thursday night, a large majority of Ontarians decided not to bother heading to the polls.
The province recorded the lowest voter turnout in history during the 2022 election, with just about 43.5 per cent of eligible voters casting a ballot according to preliminary Elections Ontario results.
Of the just over 10.7 million registered voters in the province, this equals just over 4.6 million votes cast.
PCs WON 40.8 % OF THOSE VOTES
According to the preliminary results, Doug Ford’s Progressive Conservatives won with just over 1.9 million votes
The last time voter turnout was below 50 per cent was in 2011, when just 48 per cent of Ontario residents over the age of 18 voted.
No other time in Ontario history has the voter turnout fallen that low.
