Approximately what percentage of eligible Americans voted in the 2012 presidential election?
Wow, that's quite an increase. Did anything noteworthy happen during those elections that might explain why more people turned out to vote?
There were a number of factors, but one that may have played a role in the 2020 election was the COVID-19 pandemic, which prompted many states to expand vote-by-mail options and make other adjustments to voting procedures.
