Democrats Show Stronger Voter Turnout in 2026 Primary Elections

Recent analysis indicates that voter participation in the 2026 primary elections has significantly favored Democrats compared to Republicans. As of July 2, 57% of primary votes in 31 states were cast for Democratic candidates, marking a 10-point increase from 2022 and a 3-point rise from 2018.
