Pew: Even amid high turnout, less than 40% of Americans voted in all three most recent national elections
Only 37% of eligible American citizens voted in all three of the most recent national general elections, according to a report released Wednesday by the Pew Research Center -- even though those elections saw some of the highest turnout in decades. The analysis, which tracked individual Americans' voting decisions over the past six years, highlights both the limited share of the public that consistently votes, and the degree to which the fluctuations in turnout can alter the electoral landscape. The findings, taken in conjunction with other, sometimes-conflicting sources of election data, help to draw a more detailed profile of the 2022 electorate.
