__Voter Turnout Analysis for 1972-2004__ From the year span of 1972 to 2004, there were 9 presidential elections and 8 midterm ones. This is why there will be no ninth midterm election recorded in the graphs. What this bar graph shows is the amount of total votes cast for the presidential and midterm elections in every election from 1972 to 2004. Judging from the graph, we can say that more people come out to vote in presidential elections than in midterm ones. This is because none of the midterm elections have a total amount of votes cast that is higher than the corresponding presidential election. The reason for this is likely because people don’t consider the midterm elections to be as important or effective towards their lives. So, if people think the midterm elections have less priority, they won’t vote in them.
 * First Graph and Analysis**

For the graph above, the number of total votes cast in each presidential election compared to the total citizens able to vote were recorded. Obviously, the total votes cast is never even near equal with the total citizens. As indicated by the graph, in each presidential election the total votes cast is only around 60% of the citizens during that election period. This tells us that more than half of our country has been active in voting over the years, but still we could have better turn out.

 * Fourth Graph and Analysis**

So basically this is a graph that shows a comparison between citizens 30 years and older who have attended college and 30 years and older who have not attended college. This clearly shows that education correlates to a higher percent of citizens voting. People who have attended college outweigh people who have not attended college by almost 1/3 in every interval since 1974.

 * Final Analysis Based on All of Our Graphs**

After reviewing all of the graphs, we have come to two main conclusions. First, the older a citizen is, the more likely they are to vote. This information came from the 3rd and 5th graphs. They both indicate that the voters of ages 18-24 turn up significantly less at elections than older voters. For example, in graph 3, the percentage of voters 18-24 never gets beyond 30%, and in the 5th graph, the amount of votes cast for 18-24 year old voters never even reaches 10 million, while that of older voters goes beyond 5 million. The other conclusive point is that the more educated you are, the more likely to want to vote you will be. Support of this comes form graph 4.. It indicates that the older voters vote much more than the younger ones. An example of this is how in graph 4, the votes for citizens 30 years and older with a college were about 1.5 times that of voters from the same age range without a college education. Overall, the graphs in general tell us that higher age, higher education, and higher voting priority (presidential elections are seemingly more important than midterm) will result in a larger amount of votes.
