With 12 days to go before Ontario's provincial election, voters say they're not being drawn in by what local candidates are saying.
Those who don't regularly follow politics said there's nothing riveting in this campaign to get their attention.
"Nothing is on my radar right now," said one voter. "I haven't really heard anything or listened to anything that's triggered my interest to say 'I'm going to vote for this person.'"
"What would make me interested in politics? Good question," said another. "Honestly I don't follow politics at all, I try not to."
Students say they know how they can be won over.
"Help students first, because tuition nowadays is ridiculous," said a University of Ottawa student. "If they want us get forward in life, how can we get forward if we're already in debt?"
Voter turnout in Ontario's 2007 election was an all-time low with 52.6 per cent of eligible voters casting their ballots.
This time around, people are saying that not much has changed.
"Politicians usually have that persona of telling you what you want to hear when it's election time," said one voter. "So if they were more genuine about what they were saying, maybe it would be easier for them."
There is still potential for interest to grow, with advance polls already open and the leader's debate coming on Tuesday.
