Estonia's voter turnout 37.7% for EP election

More than 37 percent of eligible voters participated in the 2024 European Parliament elections in Estonia.
In total, 368,125 people – 37.7 percent – cast a ballot between Monday and Sunday last week, Monday morning data from the State Electoral Office shows.
Of those, 215,863 paper votes were submitted and 153,269 e-votes.
Turnout was equal to the last EU election in 2019, when it was 37.6 percent.
However, this year the number of potential voters was almost 100,000 higher than five years ago as the electoral role now includes Estonians living abroad.
Approximately, 36,500 more people voted than five years ago (332,859). If turnout had been calculated the same way as five years ago, it would have been 41.8 percent this year.
The City of Tartu had the highest turnout (51.3 percent), followed by Tallinn (47 percent). The island of Hiiumaa, Harju and Lääne countries also had a turnout of more than 40 percent. Ida-Viru County's was the lowest at 33.6 percent.
