The 34.17% of Basques
decided not to go to the polls. With the data given during the day seemed that abstention significantly
exceed of the 2009 elections. But voters decided to go at the last minute.
In the Basque polling the percentage of voters was
14.8% compared to 17.1% of the
previous regional elections. The
Deputy Minister of Interior of
the Basque Country, Raul Fernandez
de Arroyabe, stated that there could be "multiple reasons" that could explain that lower turnout,
among which he mentioned the rain.
The affluence to the polls for the
last three hours they opened made possible at the end of the day that the turnout figures were similar to those of other years. The researchs are showing
that the public feels increasingly distanced from the political class.
