The town says 23 per cent of eligible voters in Ajax cast their ballot in the 2006 election, but in Ontario the average is 30 per cent and sum 41 band members are among a host of homegrown celebrities helping tackle voter apathy in Ajax, Ont., in a YouTube video encouraging residents to vote in October's municipal election. "It addresses the apathy, it addresses the indifference that people have out there," said Renee Horton, a spokeswoman with the town east of Toronto. As reported in the news.
