Of the eligible voters, only 14.37% participated had their voice heard.
This comes despite multiple information sessions leading up to the vote and a number of advanced polling dates.
Councillor Jillian Merrick says she is people had the information available.
“I think what was really important is that a lot of people got involved with the information, a lot of people watched the videos we had, the town halls, website viewings.”
This is not a Prince George specific issue, as voting numbers across the province are down wholesale.
