Voter turnout hits 36.5% as of 2 p.m., or 0.7 points above April race

Voter turnout as of 2 p.m. reaches 36.5 percent, the Central Elections Committee says.

That’s 2,331,974 voters, give or take.

Unlike earlier figures that counted actual votes cast in some 80% of polling stations, the 2 p.m. number is based on a statistically representative survey of 501 polling stations nationwide conducted at that hour by the Central Bureau of Statistics.

The figure marks a 0.7 point increase from the same hour in the April 9 race, a narrowing of the gap between the two races.
