A key difference is a significant discrepancy in voter turnout, but relatively little is known about why far fewer people vote in city elections. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eVoters show less interest in local government, seeing it as less influential than other levels, yet they believe their views matter more to local politicians. \u003ci\u003ePolitical Engagement in Canadian City Elections\u003c\/i\u003e explores this apparent contradiction by asking who participates in politics, how they go about it, and why. Drawing from the Canadian Municipal Election Study, a novel survey of electors in eight large cities across the country in 2017 and 2018, contributors consider factors ranging from the universal - such as the demographic profile of voters or how economic conditions affect them - to the specific - for example, participation in school board and council elections. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThere are more municipal elections than any other kind in Canada. The discoveries in \u003ci\u003ePolitical Engagement in Canadian City Elections\u003c\/i\u003e collectively represent a major leap forward in our understanding of voter activity at the community and municipal level.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eR.
