Voter turnout was even worse in areas outside Toronto - in the 30% range. The Toronto media is so strong that there is some degree of coverage of their Mayor race that people can get motivated to vote. In the surrounding regions, there is little information and people do not rush to the polls when they are not knowledgeable.
GTA voter turnout
Maybe party politics is more important for these areas to allow for an informed electorate.
I haven't seen anywhere whether everyone who voted for Mayor also voted for councillor. I know many who only voted mayor and left the rest blank. I wonder what the voter participation was for Councillor, Trustee, etc.
