How the countries differ

The bases differ, so these are not the same statistic. The U.S. figure is a Census Bureau survey estimate (Current Population Survey, November 2024 supplement) of the share of adult citizens who say they voted; Canada's is Elections Canada's official count of ballots cast as a share of electors on the lists (registered voters); Mexico's is INE's official count of votes cast as a share of the lista nominal (citizens registered with a voter ID).
Self-reported U.S. turnout runs a few points above official vote counts, and the U.S. base (all adult citizens) includes people who are not registered, which pulls the rate down; the Canadian and Mexican bases include only registered voters, which pushes theirs up. Elections Canada's own estimate of turnout among all eligible electors is slightly lower than the registered-elector figure shown here.
Elections differ: a U.S. presidential election (November 5, 2024), a Canadian general election for Parliament (April 28, 2025) and a Mexican presidential election held with congressional and many local races (June 2, 2024). Mexico's national figure includes votes cast from abroad; its state figures do not.
U.S. state estimates are from a survey and carry margins of error of several points in smaller states.
Compare states, provinces and estados within each country with confidence; across countries, treat differences as indicative only.
