Older Americans Are Much More Likely To Vote Frequently

Notes

Our “frequent voter” metric counts individuals who have voted in at least six of the past eight elections. “Nonvoters” are those who have voted in none or just one of the past eight elections. Since the 18-29 age group contains voters who have not been eligible for the full eight-election span, that group’s true “frequent voter rate” is incomplete. The number of individuals in each of these five age groups is roughly the same, except for the 50-69 group, which contains about three times as many individuals.
