Voter turnout is often higher in other countries than in the US due to several factors, including mandatory voting laws, which compel citizens to participate in elections, and more accessible voting processes, such as automatic voter registration and extended voting periods. Additionally, many countries have a more robust public commitment to civic engagement and political education, fostering a culture that values participation. In contrast, the US faces challenges like voter disenfranchisement, complex registration processes, and varying state laws that can discourage turnout. Finally, the electoral system and the frequency of elections can also impact voter engagement levels.
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.
