Turnout for the UK election 2024

60% according to Yougov and Statista.

Haven't found anywhere suggesting higher.

So a majority and a mandate but only just.

Many times I've heard something like, "Well, if everyone had voted so and so would have won."

But the "vote" of people who don't vote doesn't belong to anyone.

It's no different on this side of "the pond."

@beckyromero Yes. Those in disagreement with anything on offer and so make the choice not to use their vote rather than register their contempt via a spoiled ballot
