Once every four years New Brunswick citizens residing in municipalities and local service districts of various sizes exercise their right to vote by choosing local leaders. These leaders enact zoning bylaws, set rates for property taxes and enact local legislation, all of which affect property owners. Of course there are often other issues, but municipal spending is the one that impacts property owners directly.
In our general area about 65% of all households own the property in which they live. So what would one expect to be a reasonable percentage of eligible voters who took the time to vote? It varies widely, as you can see below.
