What is this Indicator?
This indicator shows the percentage of registered voters who voted in the previous general election.
Why this is important: Voting is one of the most fundamental rights of a Democratic society. Exercising this right allows a nation to choose elected officials and hold them accountable. Voting ensures that all citizens have the opportunity to voice their opinions on issues such as the use of tax dollars, civil rights and foreign policy. By voting, individuals shape their communities and influence the next generation of society. A high level of turnout indicates that citizens are involved in and interested in who represents them in the political system.
Technical note: This distribution is based on data from all 58 California counties. |
