there are supposedly 575,000 registered voters in detroit. there are only 625,000 people over 18 there! 92% are registered to vote?
In 2004 79% of the population past 18 years old regestered as voters.
I like to know how many registered in 2008.
According to the Washington Post, "Overall, turnout in the midterm elections was projected at 42 percent of registered voters, about 1.2 percentage points higher than in 2006." (It should be noted that even though there was a slightly larger turnout than in 2006, about 58% of voters stayed home.) Also, according to most polls, the makeup of the electorate this time was different: there was a large "enthusiasm gap," such that Republicans voted in larger percentages than Democrats did; also, younger voters decreased, as did minority voters; and older voters, as well as white voters, came out in larger numbers than in 2008. 82.5 million people voted, many of whom were spurred by anger over the lingering recession. But it is worth noting that this number was far fewer than the more than 131 million people who voted in the presidential election of 2008-- generally, presidential elections bring out a much greater number of voters than midterm elections do.

All registered US voters.
190 million
Voter turnout in the US is typically low; only a relatively small percentage of those eligible to vote do so. Most frequent voters are older and more conservative. Less-frequent voters are younger. National elections typically get better turnout than local or state elections.
There are no official numbers, as the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the "Mormon" church) doesn't ask its members if they are registered voters, and you do not need to disclose your religion in order to register to vote. Most American adults are registered to vote, but many do not actually vote. Mormons are encouraged to vote, so the percentage of registered Mormon voters may be higher than the general population. As a conservative estimate, I'd say there are at least 3 million registered Mormon voters in the US.
The voter turnout percentage for US elections varies every year, and historical data date back as far as 1828, which had a turnout of 57.6%. The highest voter turnout rate to date was in 1876.
