Voter Turnout By Gender In Canadian Federal Elections

Question

I'm looking for statistics on voter turnout by gender in Canadian federal elections since 1965.

I've looked at the Elections Canada site, the Canadian Election Study (CES) site. I found some data in the collection of studies from the Royal Commission on Electoral Reform and Party Financing /Commission Royale Sur la Réforme Electorale et le Financement des Parties (1989).

I'm just wondering if there are more resources out there.

Your suggestions would be very much appreciated.

Answer

Statistics Canada doesn't collect these data but you may wish to contact Elections Canada to see if they can provide this information. StatCan disseminates little election-related statistics

(ex. summary tables:http://www40.statcan.gc.ca/l01/ind01/l3_75_79-eng.htm?hili_govt09 and Historical Statistics of Canada: http://www.statcan.gc.ca/pub/11-516-x/sectiony/4057759-eng.htm#2);

Our recent statistics on this topic are from Elections Canada.
