SA voter turnout better than UK, US and France

In South Africa, the figure declined to about 73.5% in 2014. In 1999, it was at 89.3%.There are more than 26 million registered voters this year, with 55% being women and 45% men.

According to the International Institute for Democracy and Electoral Assistance, South Africa’s 2014 voter turnout data was way higher than turnout during the 2016 US elections, when just over 65% of the electorate went to the polls.In France, 42.6% of eligible voters participated in the second round of voting in the last national electionAustralia managed a 91% voter turnout, that's particularly notable, because it's a crime not to vote there.

Only because some SA’s voted more than once.
