  • Very interested: 18 percent
  • Somewhat interested: 25 percent
  • Not very interested: 25 percent
  • Not at all interested: 30 percent
• Split sample two: "Due to the pandemic, Elections Canada has put health and safety measures in place at every polling place to keep workers and electors safe in this election. How interested would you be in working at the polls in the election?"
• Very interested: 14 percent
• Somewhat interested: 22 percent
• Not very interested: 26 percent
