Voters speak — at least some do,
At least sometimes.
How about you?
Are you registered?
Did you vote?
The Census Bureau has collected voting data since 1964. And, "Most
people who are registered to vote actually vote," said Amie
Jamieson, one of the authors of Voting and Registration in the Election
of November 2000. "Historically, the likelihood of actually voting,
once registered, has remained high, with the peak at 91 percent in 1968."
The voting rate of all citizens rose from 58 percent to 60 percent and
their registration rate dropped slightly, from 71 percent to 70 percent,
between the 1996 and 2000 elections.
Among registered voters who failed to cast
ballots, 1-in-5 reporte they were "too busy" to vote.
In 2000, the District of Columbia, Maine, Minnesota, North Dakota and Wisconsin
had the highest turnout(all around 70 percent), and Hawaii had the
lowest (44 percent).Voting and registration rates were highest in the
Midwest, absentee and early voting were most popular in the West, and
the people most likely to go to the polls were older individuals,
homeowners, married couples, and people with more schooling and higher
incomes.
Are you
registered to vote? Every election is important. Even if that's a work
day for you, you can still register and apply to cast an absentee
ballot. It's time to care. Time to stand up for yourself and be
counted!
In November of 2020, more registered U.S. citizens voted than ever before!
WAY TO GO!
