Record Low Voter Turnout in Maldives’ 2023 Presidential Elections

The Maldives' 2023 presidential election on 9 September recorded the lowest voter turnout in the country's democratic history, with 75% of 282,395 registered voters casting ballots. Turnout has declined from 86.5% in 2008, 91.4% in 2013 and 89.2% in 2018, amid party splits, the barring of former President Abdulla Yameen Abdul Gayoom and a close race between Ibrahim Mohamed Solih and Mohamed Muizzu.
