Last night stretched late, the culmination of a long day immersed in a truly gripping election. My time spent campaigning offered some compelling observations. This election was remarkable, witnessing a significant 67.4% voter turnout (19,237,846 registered electors), including a record-breaking 7.3 million+ advance votes cast over the Easter weekend. This surge in participation is fascinating, nearing the over 70% mark last seen in 1988.
Ashish Fitkariwala, founder of Voice of Mississauga, aptly described the inspiring dedication at the polls, noting the presence of even the most elderly citizens overcoming significant physical challenges to vote. My own experience campaigning echoed this, revealing a strong generational loyalty to political parties, with young voters surprisingly adhering to long-standing family traditions.https://www.elections.ca/content.aspx?section=ele&dir=turn&document=index&lang=e
Furthermore, there was a palpable active engagement with the electoral process. Perhaps a perceived external threat served as a unifying force, galvanizing citizens to participate.https://monvoyage.in/voting-for-dipika-for-mississauga-mayor/
Interestingly, a significant undercurrent of the election seemed to revolve around the USA, its President, and its economic policies, perhaps taking center stage from local issues that demand immediate attention here in Canada.
