In page 1912 United States presidential election:

"

27.9% of the voting age population and 59% of eligible voters participated in the election.[1] Wilson captured the presidency handily by carrying a record 40 states. As of 2024, this is the only presidential election since 1860 in which 4 candidates received more than 5% of the popular vote and a third-party candidate outperformed a major party candidate in the general election.[citation needed] This election saw the lowest turnout among eligible voters since the 1836 presidential election, falling 20 points short of the turnout in the 1896 election.[citation needed] The implementation of Jim Crow laws after the Reconstruction Era significantly reduced Black voter turnout.[2]
