In Wisconsin, just over 70% of all eligible voters cast ballots (“eligible voters” is an estimate of the number of citizen residents of voting age). 3,071,434 votes cast, out of 3,515,296 registered voters (as of Nov 5, according to this WI gov document) shows that 87% of registered voters cast ballots state-wide!
The city of Madison had 186, 371 registered voters on Nov. 5., and 150, 198 votes cast, or just under 81% of registered voters. I haven’t found an estimate of “eligible voters” for Madison. Still, Madison is vaunted as a very politically active city, and it’s interesting that it under-performed the state as a whole by a significant percentage.
The OP was asking about votes out of all eligible voters. That’s going to be a significantly smaller then the fraction of registered voters that went to the polls.
(still, kind of crazy that 30% of the people that bother to register to vote skip a major election).
No, I was asking about turnout in whatever form is available. I provided both percentage of “eligible” and “registered” voters state-wide because the numbers were there – and I was even rather surprised that the state came up with an estimate of total eligible voters.
I asked about turnout around where you live, not turnout everywhere. Though that would be interesting too. I was pretty stunned that WI had such a high turnout among registered voters – I don’t recall ever seeing such a large percentage in the US.
