To be honest, the only percentage I'm really interested in this time is what percentage of eligible voters did so.
If it ends up under 60% again (and definitely if it decreases), I may change my stance on mandatory voting. There's just no reason we can't get two-thirds of Canadians to make an educated vote every so often. Sadly, I suspect we'll see a new low....55%.

Well call me cynical but I think that even if we get a 70% turnout only a very small fraction of that would be an educated vote.
