While turnout in the mayoral contest was comparatively high, roughly 4.3% of voters abstained from council races. Using data from the Toronto Election Study, a large-N survey of electors conducted around the time of the 2014 Toronto Election, this study identifies a series of factors related to roll-off from mayoral to council elections. These variables include a number of sociodemographic characteristics and attitudinal factors commonly associated with turnout, measures of attachment to the city, and a series of election-specific factors. Results reveal that many factors commonly associated with abstention similarly drive roll-off, but that the experiences of individual voters also have an impact upon roll-off rates. - Reproduced.  aLocal government 95811  aAbsenteeism9Voting  aMunicipal elections95981  aUrban Affairs Review  aElections  2ddccAR  00102ddc40709383622aIIPAbIIPAd2019-05-20h54(6), Nov, 2018: p.1081-1106.pAR119800r2019-05-20yAR
