As 139 million people voted in the 2016 election when Donald Trump unexpectedly beat Hillary Clinton, turnout among the voting-age population was just under 56%, according to the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.idea.int\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">International Institute for Democracy and Electoral Assistance<\/a>. That is far behind\u00a0Belgium\u00a0which had a high turnout of 78% in its most recent election. However, it must be pointed out that the country has a system of compulsory voting, consistently resulting in high turnout figures. Many countries without such a system also experience high voting volumes with Sweden a notable example with 82% in 2018. South Korea also had an impressive turnout of 66.5% in its legislative elections earlier this year.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-28059\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ceo-na.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/to-847x1024.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"847\" height=\"1024\" srcset=\"http:\/\/servidor-mxigen1.com\/ceona-antiguo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/to-200x242.jpeg 200w, http:\/\/servidor-mxigen1.com\/ceona-antiguo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/to-248x300.jpeg 248w, http:\/\/servidor-mxigen1.com\/ceona-antiguo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/to-400x483.jpeg 400w, http:\/\/servidor-mxigen1.com\/ceona-antiguo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/to-500x604.jpeg 500w, http:\/\/servidor-mxigen1.com\/ceona-antiguo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/to-600x725.jpeg 600w, http:\/\/servidor-mxigen1.com\/ceona-antiguo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/to-700x846.jpeg 700w, http:\/\/servidor-mxigen1.com\/ceona-antiguo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/to-768x928.jpeg 768w, http:\/\/servidor-mxigen1.com\/ceona-antiguo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/to-800x967.jpeg 800w, http:\/\/servidor-mxigen1.com\/ceona-antiguo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/to-847x1024.jpeg 847w, http:\/\/servidor-mxigen1.com\/ceona-antiguo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/to.jpeg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 847px) 100vw, 847px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Approximately 100 million votes have been casted before election day,  [&#8230;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":8,"featured_media":28060,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1338],"tags":[99,1385,55,3630,4229,4228],"class_list":["post-28058","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news","tag-ceo","tag-ceo-northam","tag-donald-trump","tag-joe-biden","tag-us-elections","tag-voter-turnout"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/servidor-mxigen1.com\/ceona-antiguo\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/28058","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/servidor-mxigen1.com\/ceona-antiguo\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/servidor-mxigen1.com\/ceona-antiguo\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/servidor-mxigen1.com\/ceona-antiguo\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/8"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/servidor-mxigen1.com\/ceona-antiguo\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=28058"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"http:\/\/servidor-mxigen1.com\/ceona-antiguo\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/28058\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":28062,"href":"http:\/\/servidor-mxigen1.com\/ceona-antiguo\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/28058\/revisions\/28062"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/servidor-mxigen1.com\/ceona-antiguo\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/28060"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/servidor-mxigen1.com\/ceona-antiguo\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=28058"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/servidor-mxigen1.com\/ceona-antiguo\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=28058"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/servidor-mxigen1.com\/ceona-antiguo\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=28058"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
