2000 VAP  refers to the total Voting Age Population of the State as reported by the Bureau of Census. Please note that the VAP includes all persons over the age of 18 -- including a significant number of people not eligible to vote in U.S. elections.

2000 REG  refers to the total number of registered voters as reported by the States.

TURNOUT in this instance refers to the total vote cast for the highest office on the ballot in 2000 (President).   These figures may be inconsistent with other reported figures shown on this site and elsewhere since research suggests that approximately 2% of voters fail to vote for the highest office on a fairly consistent basis.

North Dakota has no voter registration.

Wisconsin has election day registration at the polls.
