Voter turnout has declined in the United States throughout history due to potential voters' personal choice not to vote and their ineligibility. According to research, a large percentage of individuals do not vote because political parties fail to attract voters, leading voters to lose interest in campaigning, while others postpone their registration and, at the same time, By the time they realize how late they are, the elections are approaching. This downward trend in voter turnout can be attributed to Progressive Era reforms. Turnout in the post-Progressive era has remained low, never reaching the levels reached before the Progressive Era reforms. This was to be expected, because the political history of these years hardly suggests a return to a system of collective-oriented electoral participation. Since 1912, only about 50 to 65 percent of Americans have voted in presidential elections and even fewer in other elections: 40 to 50 percent in off-year congressional elections and as few as 10 to 20 percent in primaries and elections. minor local elections, although the exact number depends on how turnout is measured (Greenberg and Page, 2009). Voter turnout began to decline in the late 19th century, reaching the level of 60 percent in the 1912 elections (Teixeira, 1987). The right to vote, originally quite limited, was expanded through various historical surges to include almost all adults and apply to most important offices. In the United States, turnout is lower than in the late 19th century and lower than in other democratic countries; it continued to decline, regardless of the recent presidential elections (Greenberg and Page, 2009). In the United States, participation rates have increased. historically been middle of paper ...... Linton and Barack Obama in 2008 - proportionately fewer people vote today than during most of the 19th century (Greenberg and Page, 2009). Low voter turnout in the United States has been attributed to the inability of political parties to raise awareness and competitiveness among potential voters in elections and the general difficulty of the registration and voting process. The research portion of this project relied primarily on four works focused on voter turnout, whether perceived to be increasing or decreasing. The article used was found from one of the books, and overall the sources provided analytical and institutional perspectives on American voter turnout. I believe that voter turnout, as well as voter registration, is steadily declining in the United States due to multiple factors, although the topics discussed above largely affect us today..
