A recent poll conducted by CTV News in partnership with Insightrix Research is giving a look at what issues matter most for prospective voters in Saskatchewan’s capital city ahead of the Nov. 13 municipal election.
As election day inches ever closer, 400 residents in both Regina and Saskatoon were polled to see what issues mattered the most to them at the civic level.
Those surveyed were asked 'Which of the following issues have the most impact on your vote?' and were given the opportunity to choose up to three choices on the list.
For 42 per cent of those surveyed in Regina, property taxes and/or user fees were a major concern.
Following close behind was effective city/fiscal management at 40 per cent.
Other management issues with significant importance included addressing issues with REAL (16 per cent), vision for the future and planning for growth (14 per cent), as well as engagement and transparency with residents (8 per cent).
"It looks like in Regina it is more of that 'back to basics,' in terms of looking at the taxes and what’s kind of going on with the city and how it’s being managed," Lang McGilp, Insightrix research director, told CTV News.
