Waterloo Region Council Election Discussion

[Rainrider22]

There is a strong anti-LRT motivated base: those opposed to phase 2. Many in South Kitchener and plenty in Cambridge, especially those in Preston and Galt, are angry and scared. And they far-more-legitimately believe that it can be stopped. It would be foolish to underestimate this.

Accept that they have to actually go out and vote...

From The Record for 2014 voter turnout

"Across the seven municipalities, an average of 32 per cent of residents cast ballots, roughly the same turnout in 2010.
Turnout in Waterloo was down five per cent from 2010, to 36 per cent from 41 per cent, while it was up slightly in Kitchener, from 28 per cent in 2010 to 30 per cent on Monday.
In Cambridge, where the city held advance online and telephone voting for the first time, voter turnout was only one per cent above 2010."
