In the last federal election Alberta had the second lowest turnout of any province at the polls.
The current campaign isn’t exactly lighting the city on fire either, with a noticeable lack of signage or even door-knocking going on so far.
660News talked to lunch hour shoppers to see what Calgarians know about the election.
Of those 20 or so people, only two knew who their MP is. But even if they did, they didn’t know who else was running.
In fact, it was a challenge for most to even name their riding!
Despite their lack of information so far though, most of them said they plan to vote.
