The voting-age population includes all U.S. residents 18 years andover. This consists of both people who are eligible to vote and those not eligible to vote, such as noncitizens, convicted felons, and prison inmates. These projections do not cover Americans living over seas who may vote. The proportion of the voting-age population who reported in the November 1996 Current Population Survey that they were registered to vote in that year’s election was 65.9 percent.
