Note: The numbers posted here are ESTIMATES projected from what the Associated Press tallies. These may not accurately reflect the actual number of outstanding ballot cast on Election Day, outstanding mail ballots yet to be counted, and provisional ballots to be counted. These data will be updated as states report their final and certified numbers. The preferred turnout rates are those calculated with the voting-eligible population as the denominator. The voting-eligible population (VEP) represents an estimate of persons eligible to vote regardless of voter registration status in an election and is constructed by modifying the voting-age population (VAP), by components reported in the right-most columns (scroll right in the spreadsheet). Questions? Please see the FAQ. Direct link to spreadsheet. Notes:
The denominator reflects the July 1, 2012 and July 1, 2013 voting-age population estimates extrapolated to Nov. 1 2014, non-citizen estimates from the 2013 American Community Survey, the year-end 2013 DOJ prison report and the year-end 2012 DOJ probation and parole report. The number of felons who are on probation is estimated to be 53% of the total, which based on a DOJ survey; the total probation population is reported in the spreadsheet, and this adjustment is applied to the number of ineligible felons on probation, parole or in prison. A '0' indicates that either a state does not disfranchise a class of felons or the state does not incarcerate felons within their borders (this is true for DC). See The Sentencing Project for more information. The overseas eligible population estimate is calculated from 2013 overseas civilian estimate from the State Department -- which reports 7.6 million overseas citizens in FY 2013 and is deflated by 70.3%, the percentage of the domestic citizen population that is of voting age according to the 2013 American Community Survey. This estimate includes military personnel. The national total number of ballots counted is an estimate derived from the national vote for president multiplied by the ratio of total ballots counted to vote for president in states reporting both numbers. The total ballots counted estimate is updated as additional states report. Kansas vote for highest office adjusted for a double-count of Wilson County votes for president. Total ballots counted is unaffected. These turnout rate estimates are updated when new data are available. Such data may be revised components of the voting-age and voting-eligible population, and any revisions to vote totals, as warranted. |
