Preliminary data shows overall turnout nationally in 2022 was down a few percentage points from four years ago. But some states saw an increase in voter participation.
Four years ago, when the nation headed to the polls in the middle of Donald Trump’s divisive term as president, half of eligible voters cast a ballot. Last week, preliminary data shows overall turnout was down a few percentage points. But some states saw an increase in voter participation.
In addition to Maine, RCV is used in Alaska, which debuted its new election system this year. The Last Frontier was sixth in preliminary turnout at 57.0%. The three vote-by-mail states with the highest turnout were Colorado, Oregon and Vermont, which both exceeded 55%. Oregon also had a competitive race for governor.
For example, Langeler pointed to Michigan, which is not a full vote-by-mail state but where 40% of the votes were cast via mailed-out ballots, and Maine, which instituted a permanent vote-by-mail list for people 65 and older. Ten other states saw a small increase, according to preliminary data, including four that exceeded 2 percentage points: Arkansas , Arizona and Alaska and New Hampshire .
