How does Maryland voter turnout in the 2014 primary election compare to voter turnout in the 2014 general election? What are possible explanations for the differences in the voter turnouts?
Answer:Your answer should include at least some of the following information: Voter turnout rate for the primary election was 23% compared to the estimated 48% in the general election. The results for the general election were unofficial, but by adding the numbers in the total column, the number of votes cast in the general election was 1,770,977. The newspaper interviews indicated people who voted in the general election believed that voting is their civic duty and that their votes make a difference. One conclusion that could be drawn is that voters do not believe that primary elections are as important as general elections and, as such, do not make the same effort to get out and vote during the primary elections.
