@cjgyt The exact voter #turnout is not published. They do not include invalid votes on the one side (which is turnout!), and they do not include voters registered on election day on the other side. Also, there are always numerous people on the list of electors who no longer reside in the district or have passed on.
However, whether it was 76% or 78%, I agree that it should have been higher.
The official voter #turnout at #Canada 's #elections is always incorrect. Don't rely on it.
First, the reported number does NOT include electors who voted invalid. I do not like that all.
Second, the number of registered voters does not include voters who register on election day.
I updated my “uplifting” elector turnout graph using today's preliminary numbers.
This graph shows not only traditional “election turnout" but also the votes cast as a percentage of the Canadian population. This is a reminder of how far we have come! (and how fast our country is growing!)
2025 Turnout: 68.6%
Population voting: 47.4%
Only 8% of Canadians voted in 1867! Let's keep growing both turnout and percent voting!
Early voting has started for the #CanadianElection . PLEASE #VOTE! If you need HELP, ask EVERYONE until someone steps up. Even if you think your local results are a forgone conclusion, pump up the numbers for what you prefer -- though if you're anti-maga, consider voting strategically and pick whoever has the best shot in your area to shut CPC out. Please, let's see record-breaking #turnout! Please #PassItOn !!

..the high voter #turnout in the #BTW25 is also due to the #demonstrations in the final phase of the #election campaign. "The joint vote of the #Union with the #AfD in the #Bundestag on the subject of migration at the end of January has led to a counter-mobilization in the democratic camp...The demonstrations also played a role." (**obviously, it had counter effect, 48% of mobilised voted AFD,24% #CDU / #CSU**) https://taz.de/Die-Bundestagswahl-in-Zahlen/!6062600/ https://www.tagesschau.de/newsticker/liveblog-wahl-donnerstag-102.html#Demonstrationen #germany #cdu #greens #spd #dielinke

Finally got around to writing my blog post on my hacky way to generate maps showing voting turnout at a precinct level for social media/GOTV purposes

So sad but predictable.
The Democrats seem to be so comfortable with how they are now, basically a fundraising entity that keeps deploying tons of cash to lose elections. I asked a well informed friend about Ken Martin beating Ben Wikler; he said "the vendors are happy" 😕
#Italy Falling voter #turnout worries nation’s president: https://www.ansa.it/english/news/politics/2024/11/20/mattarella-says-work-to-get-people-to-vote-again_6ae94ccd-a76e-4711-9fce-a683111b6264.html - Problem is voting seems to make zero difference - salaries in Italy continue to fall as prices continue to rise. #economy #democracy #DeathOfDemocracy
Trump won with 3.5 votes more than his 2020 total. 6M Biden voters were noshows for Harris. 4M more eligible voters. 4M fewer votes. 8M more non-voters.
Third parties attracted 2.9M wasted votes in both elections.
Trump 2024 won with 3M more votes than Biden 2020. Harris lost with 800K more votes than Trump 2020.
#Italy Very low #turnout in regional #Elections in Emilia-Romagna and Umbria regions - article in Italian. (#Voting makes zero difference nowadays anyway - sad but true IMHO) https://www.ansa.it/sito/notizie/politica/2024/11/17/regionali-in-emilia-romagna-affluenza-alle-19-al-3103-in-umbria-al-3122_1a571ca2-5697-4c1a-a1ba-80c6bdf8de7a.html #DeathOfDemocracy #politics #democracy
"A review of the preliminary voting data, using The Washington Post’s Post Pulse models of the outstanding vote, shows that Trump’s victory was modest, as was the likely realignment in the electorate. The story of the 2024 election may turn out to be the changes in who didn’t vote rather than those who did.
Let’s drill down, starting at the national level.
It is likely that, when all of the votes are counted, Trump will have received about half of the votes cast, beating Vice President Kamala Harris by about a percentage point. As a function of the two-party vote, Trump’s popular vote victory — his first — will probably be the smallest since Al Gore received more votes than George W. Bush in 2000."

"Fewer Americans eligible to vote bothered to do so compared to 2020. Then over 158m voted, this time the vote was down to 143m. The voter turnout of those eligible fell to 58.2% from the high of 65.9% in 2020.
"Around 40% of Americans registered to vote did not do so. And the number of Americans who failed to register rose to 19m from 12m in 2020. So, although Trump got 51% of those who voted, he actually got only 28% support of Americans of voting age."

The incumbent parties in developed countries obtain fewer votes than before:

My #texas district had 52% #turnout. Imagine 4 of you are choosing where to go for dinner. 2 have food allergies and say they don’t care where you go as long as they have menu options for them. You recommend a place but the 2 with allergies say it’s not their favorite. The 4th recommends a place where the 2 with allergies got sick, but the 4th says he knows the new owner who will “take care of them” so you go there, to find that the new owner kept the old menu and staff, and is out of town.
"Everyone compares Trump to Benjamin Netanyahu, and indeed there are many similarities, but no one compares the Democrats in the United States to the center-left in @israel."
"In the United States and in Israel, the liberals evoke sympathy, and are terrifyingly hollow.
"In the United States and in Israel liberals supposedly oppose the war in Gaza, and their opposition is a story of ideological emptiness and moral failure, hypocrisy, and sanctimony."
"Harris lost not only on account of Gaza, but the Democratic administration's conduct on the war certainly didn't help her at the polls."
"Voters do not like trickery and pretense."

@GottaLaff Unprecedented #Turnout in the #LehighValley. There's still a line 5+ hours long outside #LehighUniversity. There are more machines operating inside now and the line is beginning to pick up it's pace
There's also rumors of Paul Rudd and Mark Ruffalo being on their way to rally the students

[Video] #Recordbreaking #turnout as 78 million #Americans #cast #votes before #ElectionDay.
With Election Day on the horizon, more than 78 million Americans have already made their #voices heard. This tends to favor #DemocraticParty #Candidates.
