There are a number of reasons:
- The more powerful the office, the more interest in it. President is the most powerful office in the United States
- Likewise, the race for president is also the most well-funded so candidates have a lot more resources to encourage people to vote.
- Presidential elections cut across state lines and are of interest to the entire country.
