Some statistics: Congress Election January 2015 International Edition

Day 2,625, 03:45 Published in Nigeria USA by Cyberion

In my previous article I was asked to compare voter turnout of last congress elections world wide. As I did not collect those data yesterday it might not be as accurate because the number of active citizens change everyday.

So lets start again with some graphics:


The worldwide voter turnout is 20.89%.

During data collection I made some interesting observations. Many of the smaller countries have a very politically active community whereas the big players are more like the average.
Most active citizens: Serbia (7550)
Most congress votes: Serbia (2071)
Highest voter turnout: South Africa (52.55😵

Poncho Warrior already gave you a list of countries without congress in his latest article.
Of course every country with 0% voter turnout in my diagram also has no congress, but there are 2 exceptions. Norway and Indonesia had congress elections but none of the parties had congress candidates.
Also Saudi Arabia is a very special country. They only have one party with 41 members and 20 of them are congress members now.

If you have any suggestions what to add in future statistics compilations, let me know in the comment section.


As I still have senior journalist mission running I appreciate every comment.
