Pollster says online voting and proportional representation could dramatically increase voter turnout
Dec 18, 2009
Frank Graves, President of Ekos polling, said "online voting combined with proportional repesentation could dramatically increase the engagement of under-45 Canada and frankly reshape the political landscape."
Quoted in the Globe and Mail, Graves was commenting on an EKOS poll which asked respondents about the best ways to increase voter turnout. The top two items were online voting with 33 per cent and proportional representation with 29 per cent, both well ahead of mandatory voting with 23 per cent and public education campaigns with 16 per cent.
