People learn the habit of voting, or not, based on experience in their first few elections. Elections that do not stimulate high turnout among young adults leave a 'footprint' of low turnout in the age structure of the electorate as many individuals who were new at those elections fail to vote at subsequent elections. Elections that stimulate high turnout leave a high turnout footprint. So a country's turnout history provides a baseline for current turnout that is largely set, except for young adults. This baseline shifts as older generations leave the electorate and as changes in political and institutional circumstances affect the turnout of new generations. Among the changes that have affected turnout in recent years, the lowering of the voting age in most established democracies has been particularly important in creating a low turnout footprint that has grown with each election. 517 3 $aVoter Turnout & the Dynamics of Electoral Competition in Established Democracies since 1945 606 $aVoter turnout$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aPolitical participation$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aDemocracy$xHistory$y20th century 615 0$aVoter turnout$xHistory 615 0$aPolitical participation$xHistory 615 0$aDemocracy$xHistory 676 $a324.9/045 700 $aFranklin$b Mark N.$0541887 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910457705103321 996 $aVoter turnout and the dynamics of electoral competition in established democracies since 1945$92450502 997 $aUNINA
