"U.S. Voter Turnout Up in 2004, Census Bureau Reports"

"Sixty-four percent of U.S. citizens age 18 and over voted in the 2004 presidential election, up from 60 percent in 2000, the U.S. Census Bureau reported today. Tables from a November survey also show that of 197 million citizens, 72 percent (142 million) reported they were registered to vote. Among those registered, 89 percent (126 million) said they voted. In the 2000 election, 70 percent of citizens were registered; and among them, 86 percent voted."

The Census Bureau's full press release can be found here. Thanks to Ernie Hawkins for sending me this item.
