Trivia answer

In the past century, which presidential election had the highest estimated voter turnout?
a. 1932
b. 1960
c. 1980
d. 2008
In the past century, no presidential election has recorded a higher turnout than the 1960 election, when an estimated 63.8% of the voting-eligible population cast ballots. That year, Sen. John F. Kennedy (D-Mass.) defeated incumbent Vice President Richard Nixon (R-Calif.) to win the presidency.

The lowest estimated turnout in the past century took place during the 1924 election, when incumbent Calvin Coolidge (R) defeated John Davis (D) to win election to a full term. Coolidge had succeeded to the presidency the previous year after Warren Harding (R) had a fatal heart attack. Less than half the voting-eligible population (48.6%) participated.

The highest turnout of all time was 82.6% and took place during the 1876 presidential election. Across every presidential election between 1789 and 2016, the average voter turnout rate was 57%. Of the five presidential elections between 2000 and 2016, all but the 2000 election (in which 54.2% of the eligible population voted) recorded above-average turnout. The highest turnout during this period was in 2008, when 61.6% of the eligible population cast a ballot.
