2016 Pre-Election Turnout Forecast

After the election, I will estimate the turnout rate from the reported election night tallies and the historical outstanding vote counted following the election. More information regarding the construct of the VEP (voting-eligible population) estimates used for the turnout rate denominator are here. |
