Its called Voter turn out
It is how many voters came to the polls and to cast votes. It is usually a percentage of the registered voters. If there are 1000 registered voters and 150 vote, that is 15% and is a light turnout. If 900 vote, it is 90% and a heavy turnout.
Electoral votes are what count when electing a President into office in the U.S.A..
A simple majority, more accurately called a plurality, can be any percentage as long as it is the highest percentage of votes. An absolute majority is usually any number of votes that is more than 50% of all votes cast, but there are variations. For example, the US Constitution specifies that to win a presidential election, one needs not just a majority of the votes cast; the winner needs the votes of a majority of the appointed electors. So if all 538 electors are appointed but only 270 of them vote, 100% of the 270 votes are needed to win.
The ratio of yes votes to no votes in an election was to . How many yes votes were cast if there were a total of votes cast?
The answer depends on what the bars show. If they are the percentage shares of total votes that were cast for one party (or candidate) then you cannot.
When the government talks about voter turnouts, they exclude non-registered voters (around 10%), and include invalid votes. In reality the turnout (people who actually cast a valid vote as a percentage of voting age population) is about 80%, but most Aussies think the figure is 95%, and they thank compulsory voting for the high level of participation. While compulsory voting centralizes the parties (rather than polarizes), real voter turnouts (those who would vote if voting were voluntary) plummets and translates to apathy and hatred of politicians.
All voters from any party are allowed to participate in an open primary. In an open primary, a voter may cast votes on a ballot of any party.

There is not a specific percentage of states that must approve a proposed amendment to the constitution, but a percentage of votes in both the Senate and the House. Two thirds of the votes cast in the senate must be in favor of the new amendment, as well as two thirds of the votes in the House of Representatives.
Votes cast by individual voters in the presidential election are their way of expressing their choice for the candidate they want to see become the next president. Each voter has the opportunity to select their preferred candidate by marking their ballot on Election Day or submitting it through mail-in or early voting methods. These individual votes are then tallied and used to determine the winner of the election.
