registered voters
Official ballot participants
Registered voters are people who have officially enrolled with election authorities and are therefore eligible to vote.
In the United States, registration requirements vary by state.
Polls often distinguish between registered voters and likely voters—those expected to actually cast ballots.
The candidate leads among registered voters but trails among likely voters.
