Voter turnout

Voter turnout is the number of votes cast for the highest office on a given ballot,[1] usually expressed as a percentage of the total number of voters who were eligible to vote.

A list of the voter turnout in presidential elections shows that it peaked in the very close election of 1876, and was also quite high in 1840 and 1860.[2]
