Voter Turnout

To run:  ELECTIONS > Reconcile History > Voting Analysis Reports > Reports-Voter Turnout

Note: This report will not run if you have not yet run book closing totals for the election.

This run produces six reports showing turnout by demographic groups and voting method for each voting precinct. The number of voters in the Eligible row reflects the number of Active voters at book closing, whereas the % Turnout totals can include voters who were Inactive status at the time of register generation and who subsequently voted. Therefore, the turnout total could be greater than 100 percent.

The reports include returned absentee ballots, both accepted and referred to the Canvassing Board.

Provisional ballots whose status is Tabulated are included in the reports. In the reports where the voting type is broken out (Voted at Polls, etc.), accepted provisional ballots will be tallied under the voting type where the provisional ballot was cast. For example, a provisional ballot cast during early voting and later accepted will be tallied in the Early Voting totals. Accepted provisional ballots are tallied in the voter's assigned precinct, which is entered at the time a provisional ballot is recorded in Voter Focus. (This is not necessarily the precinct where the ballot was cast.) Provisional ballots with the status of Pending or Not Tabulated are not included in the voter turnout reports.

If a voter has multiple votes, only one vote for the voter is included in these totals.

When you run this report, you have the option of first doing a cleanup operation, which will likely yield more accurate results but could take a long time, depending on the size of your database. So the cleanup run is not required if you are doing interim runs just after an election. However, the cleanup must be done for the final Voter Turnout Report, which should be run after the final Voting History Summary report is run. This will ensure the final report is correct and complete.
