Identify and compare the ways that voter turnout can be measured. Which is better for measuring voting participation? Why?
What will be an ideal response?
Voter turnout is defined as the percentage of registered voters that turn out to vote. Voter turnout can be measured either as the percentage of registered voters who vote or as the percentage of voting-age population who vote. The best measure is the latter because it is based on a percentage of all people that are eligible to vote, whereas voter turnout of registered voters is based on only those who are registered, which is only 80 percent of those who are eligible.
