Voter Turnout

Voter turnout measures the percentage of eligible voters who participate in an election. This metric indicates overall member engagement and the health of an association’s elections process. High turnout suggests members are eager to vote, while low turnout indicates something isn’t working. Associations have to work hard to ensure competitive elections, educate voters, and improve voting accessibility to improve turnout.
