Best Answer

No. The number of eligible voters is that number of people that are registered to vote and are not prohibited from doing so for some reason.

It would be a unique event if all eligible voters actually did vote.

In most elections, even national ones, it is considered a good turnout if 50% of the eligible people actually turn out to vote.

Local elections can have an even smaller turn out.
