2022 Turnout Was Lower than 2018 Turnout

This Washington Post article says U.S. voter turnout in November 2022 was lower than in November 2018.

Although the story discusses percentages, in some states the absolute number of voters was lower in 2022 than in 2018, and as a result some 2024 petition requirements are lower than they had been in 2020 and 2022.

The Alabama party petition for 2024 and 2026 is 42,353, whereas in 2020 and 2022 it was 51,588.

The Indiana statewide candidate petition for 2024 and 2026 is 36,891, whereas in 2020 and 2022 it was 44,935.

The Nebraska party petition for 2024 and 2026 is 6,605, whereas in 2020 and 2022 it was 6,980.

The Ohio party petition for 2024 and 2026 is 40,345, whereas in 2020 and 2022 it was 44,296.

The Tennessee party petition for 2024 and 2026 is 43,437, whereas in 2020 and 2022 it was 56,083.

The Texas party petition for 2024 and 2026 is 80,760, whereas in 2020 and 2022 it was 83,435.

The Wyoming party petition and independent statewide petition for 2024 is 3,879, whereas in 2020 it was 4,018.

For the most part, the 2022/2024 petition requirements will be slightly higher than the amounts posted above, because not all votes have yet been counted.
