Voter turnout at latest elections in Europe

Countries with a higher turnout (green) and a lower turnout (red) than the EU28 average (68%) at their last national elections. In comparison, the turnout at the US election 2016 was 61.4%.

The calculation of the EU average is by EUROSTAT from 2014 and based on parliamentary elections for all countries, except for Cyprus (only presidential elections), France, Portugal and Romania (both parliamentary and presidential elections). We colored these countries accordingly.
