The total number of votes cast will be very close to 2017. Right now, with 3 polling stations still uncounted, 382,197 votes have been cast for mayor. In 2017, it was 387,583.
In 2017, that was 58.1% of eligible voters.
The city didn't do an enumeration for this year's election. I don't know if there's a final count of eligible voters, but it's likely a small increase from 2017. From what I can find, it's estimated that Calgary's population has grown by about 100,000 in the last 4 years, but a lot of those are going to be children or recent immigrants who aren't eligible to vote.
With a small decrease of total votes and a small increase in eligible voters, the percentage will likely be down from 2017, but still likely in the high 50s.
