Belgium had the highest voter turnout at 87% while America only had 55% turnout in 2016. So having 40% of voters voting in the mid-terms is pretty pathetic.

If history is any indicator, only around 40 percent of eligible voters will vote in the midterm elections.
But it’s more likely that most Americans do want to vote, and one of the root causes of low turnout is this country’s framework of restrictive voting laws.
To explore the hurdles that voters face this election, we created five voter profiles:
- The No-ID Voter: could not vote in 23 states
- The Procrastinating Voter: could not vote in 34 states
- The Eager Student Voter: could not vote in 7 states
- The Working-Parent Voter: could not vote in 27 states
- The Convicted-Felon Voter: could not vote in 30 states
- Who COULD NOT VOTE and who COULD VOTE by state.
