Non – Voting On January 1St, 1946

Summary: Provides a comparative analysis of Toronto civic election results and outlines the fact that there is a very low voter turnout rate in Toronto. Raises the question as to whether voters should also play some part in the nomination process, and would this raise voter interest and turnout. Also suggests staggered two or three year terms to encourage better candidates and continuity of policy.
