Canada: The Electoral Participation of Ethnocultural Communities

Immigrants and ethnocultural minorities are likely to constitute increasingly larger segments of the electorate in the 21st century. Many studies from Western European countries have shown that naturalized citizens vote at lower rates than the native-born and that eligible voters from some non-European cultural groups are less likely to vote than members of the majority cultural group. This study examines whether Canada’s foreign-born and non-European voters also experienced the same participation disadvantage in the 2000 and 2004 federal elections.
