Voter Turnout Plateaus
Maintains Higher Level than pre-Drew Boom
Overall vote count decreases, but turnout percentage maintains elevated level
Though we see a notable decrease in vote counts after the July 25, 2020 Presidential election, due to a decrease in population over that same span, the voter turnout percentage fluctuates but remains around 60% of all citizens, considerably higher than the roughly 40% average turnout for 2018 and 2019. We can see that the Drew Boom was mainly ephemeral in how many citizens remained in the region, but the boom itself may have spurred on an increase in activity among citizens who were already here, perhaps a sociological effect lasting well past the Drew Boom itself. Barring a dip in turnout due to the elevated citizen count, the post-Drew Boom turnout percentages, and ostensibly activity levels in general, maintained a solid 10-15% increase above their pre-Drew Boom averages.
Executive election turnout elevated after Re-establishing the Presidency
Executive Elections have seen a significant rise in turnout after the Presidency was re-established. Every First Minister election in 2020 was below 60% turnout percentage, even with the Drew Boom increase in activity. It was only after the Presidency was re-established that the turnout percentage jumped to about 70% and has dipped back toward the 60% mark after, still markedly higher than the FM election era.
Senate election turnout maintains high level post-Drew Boom
Following a very anomalous 20% turnout election during the peak of the Drew Boom with massive citizen counts, mostly marginally attached new citizens, Senate election turnout rebounded from its 40% average turnout numbers in 2019 to hover around 55% since June of 2020. The Drew Boom may not have retained many citizens, but it did leave echoes of increased activity within the region as a whole.
