[RP TownTalk] Election Results

[Regina M. Kreger]

My point was that if there are 6,600 residents, then 2,447 registered 
voters doesn't seem so low (Lou says "only" 2,447).  But as you point 
out, that number is inflated by people no longer resident here. I wonder 
how many eligible voters we actually have who are not registered. 
Registered voters who didn't vote, that's another question. Honestly, I 
was very surprised at how many people bothered to vote in uncontested wards.
