Low voter turn-out

Over the last 3-4 days much of my conversation with other people focused on the huge poll results published in the newspaper. These horrible election turnoffs put out by the media should NOT be allowed. Arguments can be made on both sides. Did the voters stay away because they thought their party was a shoe in and thus creating apathy, or did the voters stay away because their party had no chance what so ever! Voters should have the big say in election results - not polls. We need to focus on ways of enticing voters to come out and vote. Not ways of influencing them to stay away.
