Turnout
定义
The share of eligible voters who cast a ballot — comparable only against the same denominator, since registered-voter and voting-age-population bases differ substantially.

Turnout anomaly
Turnout that departs sharply from comparable units or from plausible bounds — a prompt to examine records, never on its own a finding of falsification.
Compulsory voting
A legal duty to vote or to appear at a polling station — it raises and stabilises turnout, which changes how turnout anomalies should be read.
Voter roll
The official register of eligible voters — its accuracy sets the ceiling on election quality, and both inflation and wrongful removal are integrity failures.
