This video presents the same text shown beside it, spoken and on screen. It adds nothing the text does not say.

State

Turnout divides by three possible denominators: voting-age population, voting-eligible population, or registered voters — each producing a different rate.

Show

Watch for

Voting-age counts residents who cannot legally vote, so it always reads lowest.
