Its not likely that any worldwide organization keeps track of all major and minor electrocutions. I get mildly electrocuted 8 or 9 times per year, because I work with water and electrical appliances, but its never serious enough for anyone but me to ever even know about it. Thus, it is impossible to know how many people get electrocuted in a year.

Receiving an electric shock is not the same thing as electrocution. Electrocution, by definition, is the stopping of life by electric shock. There is no such thing as a "mild" fatality.

In 2007, there were 212 electrically-related fatalities reported in the U.S.
