The basics: Voter turnout

Probably similar to other Universities around Canada, the U of O is pretty pathetic when it comes to voter turnout.

In the past 15 years, voter turnout has hovered anywhere between 12 to 20%.

Last year's turnout was roughly 15% and the year before was almost 19%.

Voter turnout is expected to rise (slightly) mostly due to the large amount of class presentations due to all the BOA candidates. (Ten in Arts alone)
