A poll conducted between Sept. 24 and Oct. 2 found that 46 per cent of Halifax voters couldn’t name a single candidate in Saturday ’s mayoral election.

Halifax Mayor Mike Savage announced in February he would not run again, and on Sunday he was appointed Nova Scotia's lieutenant-governor.

Mayoral candidate and former Liberal MP Andy Fillmore agreed that voters do not seem particularly tuned into the campaign.

Peter Roth , a 29-year-old who lives in downtown Halifax and whose pronouns are they/them, believes many in their age group may be tuned out of the election entirely.

Roth said this is a problem, because they are the ones most feeling the pinch from the lack of housing and the high cost of living.
