Quebec Voter Turnout: Last Provincial Election

Quebec Dept: Quebec voter turnout is up compared to the last provincial election, despite a few power outages and temporary closures at polling stations in Montreal, according to CBC. With the advance polling turnout, that means 25 per cent of Quebecers have already voted and polls are readying to close in Quebec as the last voters make their way to mark their ballots in the province's hotly-contested general election. The Quebec director-general of elections said that as of 11:30 a.m. ET Tuesday, 8.68 per cent of Quebecers had voted, compared to 5.82 per cent in 2008. (www.immigrantscanada.com).
