The 2019 federal election is now in the rear-view mirror and Canadians have had their say, but how many Bramptonians used their democratic voice on Oct. 21?

According to Elections Canada, among 387,357 residents registered to vote in Canada’s ninth-largest city only 246,183 — or 63.5 per cent — turned out to the polls. That was up slightly over 2015 where 63.1 per cent of eligible voters cast a ballot.

The numbers in Brampton were slightly below the national voter turnout of 65.9 per cent.

Among the city's five electoral ridings, Brampton East saw the highest voter turnout at 66.4 per cent. Brampton North was a close second with 65.7 per cent of residents in that area of the city casting a vote.
