What Prof Jiang Xueqin said
“people are not going to come out to vote”
Our assessment
Turnout in 2024 was 63.9 percent of eligible voters with about 156.3 million ballots cast, the second highest rate since 1908 and behind only 2020. It slipped from the 2020 record of 66.6 percent, but the electorate plainly did come out to vote.
