Trivia answer

In the past century, which presidential election had the lowest estimated voter turnout?
a. 1924
b. 1948
c. 1976
d. 2000

In the past century, no presidential election has recorded a higher turnout than the 1924 election, when incumbent Calvin Coolidge (R) defeated challenger John Davis (D) to win a full term in office. Coolidge succeeded to the office the year before after Warren Harding (R) died of a heart attack. That year, 48.6% of the voting-eligible population took part, less than half. The only other 20th-century election with a turnout rate below 50% was when Harding was first elected in 1920.

The highest estimated turnout in the past century took place during the 1960 election, when an estimated 63.8% of the voting-eligible population participated. That year, Sen. John F. Kennedy (D-Mass.) defeated Vice President Richard Nixon (R-Calif.).

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.
