Prime Time: Sanjay Kumar, Deputy Director of Lokniti says that the high voter turnout in the assembly elections held in five states of India is only artificial. He says that the Election Commission has been working on eliminating bogus and ghost voters from its list for the last several years. Therefore, he says the percentage of legitimate voters in the electoral rolls have improved significantly leading to what seems to be a high voter turnout percentage.

Boosting Voter Turnout in California

Updated: 23 Jan 2014

In an attempt to reverse declines in voter turnout, California has adopted online voter registration and same-day registration, which would allow voters to register and cast ballots on the same day. There is also a proposal to relax the deadline for turning in mail ballots. None of these changes is likely to significantly increase turnout, said Eric McGhee, research fellow at the Public Policy Institute of California. But two of them could improve the system.

Mayoral candidates Martin J. Walsh and John R. Connolly traversed the city this afternoon in a last-minute hunt for holdout voters, both expressing confidence they would win the first open mayoral race in a generation. Turnout was brisk at many polling stations. As of 3 p.m., 77,887 people, or nearly 21 percent of those registered, had voted, according to city figures. Turnout was up, compared with the same point during the September preliminary election, when only about 17 percent had voted. During a campaign stop at Richy's Luncheonette in Hyde Park, Walsh said he liked his chances. "I feel great. I've been all over the city a little bit today and the response has been unbelievable,'' he said. At St. George's Orthodox Church in West Roxbury, Connolly cast a vote for himself and said he was confident other Bostonians would do the same. "I think we've got a lot of momentum heading out here today," he said. "I think people are going to respond to a vision that puts our schools first and recognizes that if we have great schools, we're going to have safe streets and a strong economy." Connolly's campaign sent out an e-mail to supporters saying it appeared the election was on pace to have the highest turnout in 30 years. "Everybody is voting because they know what is at stake. Don't be left out," campaign manager Nathaniel Stinnett wrote. Walsh's campaign e-mailed supporters saying the turnout was highter than expected and that meant that Connolly was getting his supporters to the polls. "We urgently need your help to make sure every single Marty Walsh supporter gets to the polls by 8:00," Joe Rull, field director of the Walsh campaign wrote. Connolly, a city councilor who has promised to be the "education mayor," and Walsh, a state representative who has been a champion of labor, are vying for the seat being vacated by long-time Mayor Thomas M. Menino, who decided not not to seek a sixth term. Menino, the city's first Italian-American mayor, has been beset by a series of ailments in the last year, including a diagnosis of Type 2 diabetes and a fractured leg. During the preliminary race, Walsh, whose base is in Dorchester and South Boston, edged Connolly by 1,400 votes to top the ticket. Connolly won 20 percent of his vote from his home ward centered in West Roxbury. Recent polls have shown Walsh leading Connolly. A victory for either men will mean a return to a decades-long tradition of Irish-American mayors. Voters are also electing at-large and district city councilors. And residents of East Boston will vote on the proposed Suffolk Downs casino.

N.B. voter turnout lowest since 1978

Order: Reorder
Duration: 2:20
Updated: 01 Oct 2010

New Brunswick voters made history on Monday by dumping the province's first one-term government since Confederation but the early estimates of increased voter turnout were aided by a drop in registered voters. Elections New Brunswick reported that 71.5 per cent of eligible voters turned out on Monday to cast a ballot in the election that saw David Alward's Progressive Conservatives rack up 42 seats compared to Shawn Graham's 13 Liberals. N.B. voter turnout since 1967 Election Ballots cast Percentage 2010 372,502 71.51 2006 377,247 67.5 2003 386,657 68.6 1999 397,179 75.5 1995 393,250 74.8 1991 414,728 80.1 1987 411,136 81.9 1982 387,251 82 1978 333,761 75.6 1974 312,583 76.5 1970 259,306 81.2 1967 257,671 82.1 At 71.5 per cent, that would be the highest voter turnout since 1999, ending a two-campaign streak of declining voter numbers. But the higher voter turnout can be credited to fewer people on the province's list of registered voters. There were 520,872 people on the voting list and 372,502 ended up casting a ballot on Sept. 27. Four years ago, 558,688 people — almost 40,000 more than in 2010 — were on the voting list and 377,244 ballots were cast, leading to a 67.5 per cent voter turnout. So even though a smaller percentage of eligible voters cast ballots in 2006 than in 2010, there were more votes cast in the 2006 campaign that elected Graham's Liberals. The number of votes cast in 2010 was actually the lowest in New Brunswick since the 1978 election when 333,761 ballots were put into boxes. Progressive Conservative Carl Killen knows the value of a vote as he won the Saint John Harbour riding by just nine votes on election night over Liberal Ed Doherty, who served in Graham's cabinet. But turnout in his riding was again the lowest in the province, with only 52 per cent of eligible voters casting ballots and 167 fewer votes than in 2006. Killen said disillusionment with politics is rampant, especially in his Saint John riding. "There are a great many who believe that politicians do not work for people," Killen sand. "It's always a challenge." Voting decline And even though Elections New Brunswick put a major focus on attracting young people to the polls, the participation rate was especially low among people under the age of 35. Paul Howe, a political science professor at the University of New Brunswick, said the steady drop in voter turnout is a long-term trend that must be dealt with. "My hope was to see voter turnout increase like a lot of people hoped to see," Howe said. His research has shown voting to be particularly weak among New Brunswick young people, with those under 35 voting half as much as those who are older than 65. The trend forces politicians to cater to seniors more in campaigns as Alward's Tories did with several spending promises aimed at seniors. For instance, the Tories have promised to freeze property tax assessments for people older than 65. Howe said catering to those who vote further alienates those who don't. "The politicians are going to pay attention to the interests of those who actually vote," Howe said. Howe said this trend encourages the decline in voter turnout, which showed itself again on Monday night.
