About these numbers

Turnout figures are pulled from each state's Secretary of State and trusted news reports. Preliminary numbers (marked with a yellow dot) shift in the days after election night as counties finish counting. Certified figures (green check) are final.

The historic average shown for each state comes from the States United Democracy Center and covers midterm primaries from 2002 through 2022.
