- Summary:
- To increase voter participation in the 2006 municipal elections in Toronto, a group of activists created an American Idol like contest. But instead of singing and being judged in front of a crowd, the participants would give a speech about their political platform. And instead of the winner receiving a record contract, he or she would get the support to run for office.
