That's not true at all
- chestervonwinch 10y agoUsing [1], which is still incomplete, and [2], I calculate: Turnout (2016) = 49.43% = (60071781 + 59791135) / 242470820 * 100 Using [3], back to 1932 (for no particular reason), I calculate: Turnout (1932-2012) = 55.64(± 3.92)% Obviously, caveats are that (1) the 2016 percentage will continue increase slightly, and (2) using turnouts back until 1932 was arbitrary choice.
