Re: election of a party
I hope you don't mind, but I have corrected some of your spelling.
The first phrase :
percentage of the votes polled for Democratic party.This is the percentage of votes cast FOR the Democratic candidate.
Quote:if i say 20% of the votes polled for Democratic Party ....what it will mean ?
It means that the candidate received 20% of the total votes cast (not a very high amount, by the way), so if there were 20,000 votes cast, the candidate would have polled (gotten) 4,000.
The second phrase :
voter turnout as % of eligible voters
You are correct when you say
Quote:this means , i believe.....How many voters out of eligible voters came to attend voting
Depending upon whose numbers you look at the Voter Turnout Percentage in the USA floats at about 50 percent of eligible voters.
