Looks like so far at least 2 non-voters were being honest. Lack of credible candidates excuse is such a cop-out. In my riding, there were 6 options... PC, Liberal, WRA, NDP, Green and Independent. Surely one would be "credible and accountable" enough. That surely doesn't give an excuse for the 40.2% turnout in my riding. Calgary Montrose also had 6 choices, yet had a pathetic 30.6% turnout. The worst was Calgary Cross with 27.4% turnout, yet they still had representation from all 4 major parties and the greens.
