Summary:Based on meticulous research on participation in U.S. elections dating back to the late 1780s, this book provides comprehensive turnout statistics for primary and general elections for presidential, congressional, and gubernatorial races. Hundreds of graphs and table detail these and other turnout data and trends, including : annual state-by-state voter turnout and voting-age population statistics dating back to the early years of the republic during the rise of mass electoral behavior ; total and partisan turnout for presidential, U.S. Senate, and gubernatorial elections, plus aggregate state-level data for U.S. House elections ; highest level of turnout for each state ; election law changes that have impacted voting eligibility ; aggregate trends in participation rates over time. Each chapter begins with outlines of the political and legal events that impacted who could and did vote. To help users make the most of this wealth of data, the book's introduction thoroughly explains the methodology behind the numbers and gives a helpful guide to navigating the work. It also provides a historical analysis of the rise (and fall) of voter turnout in American political life. --from back cover.
