The U.S. Presidential election is coming down to the wire, as incumbent Republican Donald Trump will take on Democrat Joe Biden in November.

Yet, in the U.S. there has been a concern about voting turn out among the voting-age population. According to a Pew Research Center report, the U.S. lags behind most other countries in voting turnouts.

While the Census Bureau counted 245.5 million Americans over the legal voting age of 18, only 157.6 million were registered to vote as of 2016 Presidential election. And out of those, only 56% cast their ballots for the election – a notable uptick from the 2012 election, but nowhere near the 2008.

But those numbers pale in comparison to other developed nations, from Europe to Asia.

Belgium, which makes voting compulsory for all of its citizens, leads in voting turnout, with 90% of voters cast their votes in the 2019 national election.

Other developed countries that have voter turnouts lower than the U.S. include Luxembourg, Poland and Switzerland.
