• According to the results of the Electoral and Behavioral Study conducted by Rating Group on election day (25 October), older voters were more active in the 2020 local elections: 56% of those who came to vote were people aged over 50, while in the overall structure of the electorate their share is 45%.
• At the same time, young people were less active: only 11% of those who came to vote were aged 18–29, although their share in the overall structure of the electorate is 18%.
• The greatest imbalance toward the older electorate occurred mainly in cities and more often among men. In the regional breakdown, this was more common in the East and South of the country, where the share of voters aged over 50 reached 60%.
• An analysis of responses from respondents who did not vote on 25 October showed that among women the most common reasons for not voting were health conditions and the threat of coronavirus, while among men the main reasons were being busy on election day, lack of interest in the elections, and lack of interest in their results.
• In the age breakdown, for older respondents the main reason for not voting was health status, while for young people it was being busy on election day and living outside the place of registration (especially relevant for Kyiv). For people of middle age, the threat of coronavirus was an additional reason.
