Half of us: Turnout patterns at the 2024 general election
Article
One-half of adults in this country voted at the 2024 general election, the lowest share of the population to vote since universal suffrage.
This report takes a first look at who spoke in the 2024 UK general election. By linking election turnout results to demographic data from the 2021 census, we document patterns of turnout by age distribution, housing tenure, ethnic background and religion at the constituency level.
We consider the implications this might have on policy and politics in the years ahead and put forward policy recommendations to improve electoral participation.
