Which day of the week gets the most people to vote? We analysed thousands of international elections to find out

Retrieved on: 
Tuesday, February 13, 2024

For example, the Republican primaries in Iowa on January 15 were held in very cold temperatures (subzero wind chills and a blizzard).

Key Points: 
  • For example, the Republican primaries in Iowa on January 15 were held in very cold temperatures (subzero wind chills and a blizzard).
  • The Republican primaries were held not only on a cold day, but on a working Monday.
  • We analysed data from thousands of elections across the globe to find out.

    Nigeria had 93 million registered voters, but only a quarter voted: 5 reasons why

What’s the most popular day to hold an election?

  • The first thing we can assess is which day of the week most global elections are held.
  • The graph shows, in general, voting takes place on weekends (more than 60% of elections), with Sunday being the preferred day.
  • We could also examine how many countries choose a given day of the week to hold their elections.

How does that affect voter turnout?

  • However, when the analysis was expanded to 63 countries, the day of the election did not seem to affect participation.
  • As the graph above shows, the median voter turnout is around 70% for every day of the week.
  • Therefore, it does not appear that the day on which the election is held is related to the level of participation.

Why does this matter?

  • In some countries, wealthier voters tend to show higher participation rates than poorer voters.
  • This is a pattern that has been identified in the United States and Europe but not necessarily in other countries such as India or Indonesia.
  • Participation is strategically used by political parties promoting (or disincentivising) voting in different ways and to differing extents.
  • In a year when more than half the world’s population will vote in a national election, it’s worth including data in the global discussion.
