voter turnout
Ballot-casting rate
Voter turnout is the percentage of eligible voters who actually cast ballots in an election.
High turnout suggests an engaged electorate; low turnout may indicate apathy, barriers to voting, or uncompetitive races.
Voter turnout was historically low in the midterms.
The phrase appears constantly in election coverage and political analysis.
