Despite many candidates’ best efforts, and a vigorous social media campaign it seems that voters were not engaged this year to be bothered to vote.
Voter turn out dropped by more than eight per cent since the last election in 2018.
This year the city has calculated 35,661 people cast ballots; 83,679 were eligible.
That means that only 42.62 per cent of residents showed up at the polls, when in 2018 50.68 of those eligible to vote made their choices known.
