What is the average turnout for a British general election?
Question asked by: artiste
Asked on: 13 Jan 2010
It varies from general election to election which reflects both the state of the country, the governing party, and how much the voters want change and so on.
In the 2001 election the turnout was only 59% which is a real slump as previously to that all turnouts had been at or around the 70% level or higher so that really was a slump! In 2005 it was 61% so not much better.
