Concept information

Preferred term

electoral turnout  

Definition(s)

  • Electoral turnout is called an “aggregate-level” concept because it only makes sense to talk of turnout when talking of aggregates of individuals. Yet because turnout derives from cumulating individual-level decisions, one must start with an understanding of why people vote—something about which there is little agreement in the scholarly literature. [Source: International Encyclopedia of Political Science; Electoral Turnout]
