In the U.S., it's all about turnout, which means you have to appeal to every single Democrat to get them to vote.

The basic job of any campaign is to translate grassroots energy into turnout.

Voter turnout comes down to organizing, educating, activating.

My fear is turnout. I think a lot of people might think: 'Well, in the end, it's the rational thing to stay, but I'll let other people make that choice for me.' Don't. This is very close, no doubt about it.

Most Scots might be able to identify six vegetables - but only two MSPs. There are parts of Scotland where you rarely get more than 40% turnout at the polls. There's a big disconnect there, and I think comedians bridge that gap.

According to Ted Watt's 'The First Labor Day Parade,' the September date was chosen because it coincided with a Knights of Labor conference in New York, thus guaranteeing a sizable turnout for the festivities.

Well, I would never admit to copying Karl Rove's play book, but there's no doubt that what the Bush people did in 2004 was impressive. They had neighbors talking to neighbors. They did a remarkable job increasing Republican turnout in states like Ohio and Florida.

Hamas, the opponents of Arafat, the opponents of peace, urged a boycott of the election, and yet there was an 85 percent turnout where Hamas is supposed to be strong. Isn't that really quite incredible?

Winning the presidential election with 70 percent of turnout is excellent news. I'm very moved.

There are so many ways and different people who show up and vote now. The way turnout works now. The abilities we have now to turn out voters. The polling can't understand that. And that's why the polling was so wrong in 2016. It was 100% wrong. Nobody got it right - not one public poll.

The biggest threat to the Trump movement is that Republicans in office demoralize our base because the only way we win now is by driving turnout among our voters. And if our voters just think we're weak, we don't fight, we don't do the things we say when we get elected? Then there is no future for us.

London chose to come out in record numbers, the highest turnout there's ever been in a mayoral election, and - I say this not with arrogance; it is what others have said - the single biggest mandate a British politician has ever received. That shows what a wonderful city we are.

Unlike the U.S., Iran has no problems with low-voter turnout in elections; the last time, the government got the support of 110 per cent of the population.

Low turnout in off-year races is always a challenge for Democrats. Many of our voters require information and must be contacted way ahead of Election Day - and reminded of what's at stake.

We must never stop fighting for a vision of American democracy in which we strive for and encourage the highest levels of voter turnout and participation.

Electoral turnout is falling among the young, and political apathy is on the rise.

Polling in a general election is pretty accurate, because turnout is usually high.

We've got 50 percent voter turnout for presidential elections. That's appalling. We can do so much better.

I am fairly certain that my abortion position hurt me, because in a Democratic primary, where turnout is relatively low, liberal voters turn out in disproportionately large numbers and thus exercise a disproportionate influence on the outcome.

Improved turnout will give parliament and government the appearance of being more legitimate.
