Voter turnout higher for registered voters in 1974 election
Census Bureau reports 89 percent of registered voters cast ballots on Nov 2, higher than in 1972. Estimated share of eligible voters voting fell from 55.5 percent in 1972 to about 53.4 percent this year due to registration declines after Nixon’s landslide. Officials cite a 10 percent drop in registrations from 1972 to 1974, with gains later as registrations rose 4 percent in the last two years.
