Did you know Canada.. Stats Canada released an interesting article today examining the factors associated with voting in the May 2, 2011, federal election.Some of the highlights include..
* Home owners had significantly higher voting rates than renters
* Employed people were more likely to vote than the unemployed or those not in the labour force after controls were in place for factors like age and education
* Single parents with children under 5 were much less likely to vote than those couples with children under 5
* Those 65- to 74-year-olds were most likely to vote

That's actually very interesting to read about! I bet single parents with children under 5 just couldn't get to the voting stations in many cases, it would seem like a lot of extra work to get there and deal with a squirmy little one too!
