Voter turnout for Thursday night's election was the lowest in the province's history.
According to Elections Ontario, only 43.5 per cent of eligible voters cast a ballot.
For comparison, the previous low was in 2011, when just 48 per cent voted.
Turnout has been falling steadily for decades.
In 1977, it was more common to vote than not when 66 per cent of Ontario residents who could cast a ballot did.
By the early 2000s, that had fallen to half of the eligible voters.
Locally, voter turnout in the riding of Huron-Bruce was over 10 points higher at 54.28 per cent.
And while turnout was lower in both Perth-Wellington and Bruce-Grey-Owen Sound, both ridings were still above the provincial average.
In Bruce-Grey-Owen Sound the turnout was 46.28 per cent of eligible voters and in Perth-Wellington it was 49.9 per cent.
