Calgary election turnout is notoriously low. Even in the 2001 election when there was no incumbent running for mayor (similar to this race) turnout was less than 1/3 of eligible voters.
Funny you say that just as i was posting the Ipsos poll...from that one.

Quote:
Echoing reports of strong advanced voting numbers, the poll also shows that Calgary may see its highest voter turnout in years, with 58% of Calgarians indicating they are “absolutely certain to vote” next Monday. These results indicate that turnout will be much higher than the 33% recorded in the 2007 election.
