abstract:Voting age population (VAP) refers to the set of individuals that have reached the minimum voting age for a particular geography or political unit. The presumption is that they are therefore generally eligible to vote, although other additional factors may cause them to be ineligible, such as lack of citizenship or a prior felony conviction.
Along with the independents and Democrats, Mr McCain is also hoping to benefit from the 400, 000 veterans in the state, who make up 13% of the votingagepopulation.
Preliminary exit polls also suggest this New Hampshire primary broke previous statewide voter turnout records, with roughly 500, 000 New Hampshire residents flocking to the polls that's 48 percent of the votingagepopulation in the state.
