Voter turnout is now a crisis - Victoria Times Colonist

Voter turnout is now a crisis:

Voter turnout has been dropping for years in British Columbia and many other jurisdictions. But with this election, we broke through a significant barrier, as only 48 per cent of eligible voters took part.

That means, among other things, that only 22 per cent of eligible voters expressed their support for the party that will govern the province for the next four years. That should concern Premier Gordon Campbell as he shapes his plans for this term.
