Presidential race now close enough for voter turnout to make the difference

Currently, more than nine-in-ten (93%, with nearly identical partisan figures) claim to be registered voters (though the fact that not all could name their polling station likewise raises a question about the reliability of these figures).

Regionally, little variation is seen, except again for the Coast, whose (reported) figure (82%) is considerably lower than those for the other seven regions (95%-99%).
