More Election Analysis
Daniel's monthly post in his Kaiki blog (although I wish he would write more often) talks a bit about voter turnout, among other things.
- Un alto nivel de ausentismo a nivel nacional(se habla de un 39%), no quiero interpretar esto pero no es nada bueno, máxime considerando que se amenazó con depurar de las listas de la Corte Nacional Electoral a quienes no votaran.
Last July's Referendum hit 60% participation and the 1999 Municipal Elections reached 60%. Source: CNE This year's elections only seemed to produce a 1% increase. Even with the new participation rules, voter participation stayed at nearly the same level on a national scale.

Yeah, voter turnout's been steadily dropping over the years. Not sure what that means, exactly. But I've often wondered how much of that was related to diaspora patterns (e.g. people moving illegally to Argentina, Europe, USA)?
