Correction To Correction

July 11, 2016

In today’s post, I said Britain’s youth turn-out, ages 18-24, was not 36%, as  had been widely reported — and echoed by me — but (amazingly) 64%.

Thanks to Guy Bradley for correcting that.

“No,” he writes, “36% was the percentage of the 18-24 age group who voted . . . but not all eligible voters are registered. Only about 55% of eligible voters between 18-24 were registered. And if you multiply 64% (percentage of those registered who voted) by 55% (percent of eligible voters who were registered), then you get . . . wait for it . . . 36%.  Not really your fault:  the article you linked to (and plenty of others) made the same mistake.”

Young people:  Register!  Vote!  Make a world you’ll want to live in!
