The usual percentage for municipal elections is 36%, although a record low has record in 1974.
17%.

To reflect this growing disenchantment with politicians a candidate for the governor of Kentucky asked that ‘none of the above’ be added to the electoral list.

So much for democracy.
Believers in freedom exercise your right to not vote.
Nothing is better than something some times.
