MONTRI-EAL ICP> - in post. mortems Tuesday on the out- come of two federal hyelections Monday. one question was asked repeatedly:

Why was there such a low turnout of voters in the Montreal bidings of Laurier and St. Denis which, as they have been since their inception, were retained by the Liberals?

Gcrard Picard. defeated New Democratic Party candidate in Laurier. put it "If we are concerned about the fu- ture of democracy. we had bet- ter find out why people aren't interested in their elections."

Another aspect open in anal)’- sis was the percentage of voters picked up by the various Pill‘ ties. notably the NDP and the Creditistes which dropped. the NDP considerably.

SMALL TURNOUTS

In electing I-‘ernand Leblanc in Laurier. only 10.3-i8——or 39.3 per cent—of the eligible voters cast ballots. There \\'<‘l”9 0"" 15.432—-or -13.5 per ccnt—of an eligible 35.402 votes in St. Denis where Marcel Prud‘homme was

In Laurier the NDP picked up 6.6 per cent of the vote com- pared to 13.2 in the 1963 general election. In St. Denis the ND vote was only 8.9 per cent, com- pared to 11.5 in 1963

The Creditistcs also lost ground in the percentage of

to what Social Credit. the party lfrom which the Creditistes broke ‘ away since the 1963 election. re .ccived then.

The Creditistes got 21.6 com ;pared to 1963's 23.8 for Social ‘iCredit in Laurier and 18.3 com pared to 19.9 in St. Denis.
