the most recent example of it actually working was the 2015 federal election in canada.

and, while it turned out that justin trudeau was a filthy, rotten liar, that's not the question at hand.

i want to interject a more important point: this is not a historical norm. turnout has been at historical lows for around 20 years or so. so, if you're looking deep into the past for examples of a recent phenomenon, you shouldn't be surprised not to find much.
