After spending millions of dollars to register 154,797 overseas voters, set up polling stations in 11 countries. Dominican overseas voters did not even respond with a 50% turnout. Only 75,958 people voted on Friday, slightly less than half of the registered voters. The United States has the most voters, with 52,522 people voting, a good turnout. In Europe, Spain had the most voters with 10,022.
This compares to 52,440 Dominicans who registered to vote in the 2004 presidential election, for a tripling of registered voters. In 2004, 35,342 Dominicans actually voted, or 71% of the total registered.
