Will 2026 turnout exceed 2022? (US midterms, percentage)

Question

Will turnout in the 2026 midterm exceed that of the 2022 midterm?

Turnout calculated as total voter turnout as percent of citizen voting age population (CVAP). The official source will be the 2026 Election Administration and Voting Survey from the Election Assistance Commission. In 2022, turnout was 46.8% (112,054,124 voters out of 239,035,960 CVAP).

The report is not expected until late June; if a consensus of credible reporting is available sooner, and this market is priced stably, it may resolve early. If things are close or unclear, we may have to wait for the report. If the report is no longer published, a successor report or other comparable official data will be used.
