(149,449 posts)75% of registered voters. Still, though, 25% didn't show up or vote by mail or early. And then there are all of those who aren't even registered. Nobody really knows how many of those there are accurately or why they aren't registered. There are truly no barriers to voting in Minnesota. Here, you can even register to vote on election day if you want. Our precincts are small and there are never any lines. Polling places are in walking distance for everyone, at least in the cities. In rural areas, that's not always true, of course. But, still, 25% or so of registered voters don't vote.
Our elections measure less than half or all eligible voters, if you count the unregistered residents.
It's a shame. But so it has been just about forever. I doubt that can be fixed.
