Voter turnout

Voters as a share of registered voters, in each national election.

Voter turnout is the share of registered voters who voted in a national election, for the presidency or the legislature. It is measured only in election years, so the line skips the years between. The Varieties of Democracy project (V-Dem) collects the figures from electoral authorities and historical sources, back to the first elections of the nineteenth century. Where voting is compulsory, as in Brazil, turnout is higher by law.
