For those who believe that the political system in the United States is a democracy, with the definition of “democracy” that one can find in dictionaries, it will perhaps be shocking to learn about the electoral statistics. Analyzing various elections in the United States, one can infer that the most important election by far, is a presidential election, when majority of the population participate. According to Statistica, percentage of those eligible to vote in presidential election was the highest in 2020 with 67%, and percentage of votes in comparison to total population was 48% in the same year. It means that more than one third of the eligible people did not bother participating in presidential election. And those who participated, were even less than half of the total US population.
