Below are the latest-reported total voters registered by state, and how it compares to 2004. This data is culled from each state's website for Secretary of State and/or Division of Elections.

Alaska and Kentucky are the only two states so far who have released a final official count. A handful of states haven't updated their voter registration totals for public viewing since the primaries. These figures will all be released to the public in the next 10 days or so.

The number of registered voters for this year's presidential election is 14.5% higher than for the 2004 presidential election (so far), or 178,732,927 registered voters. Turnout among registered voters in 2004 was roughly 70%, or about 122 million votes. Turnout rates are expected to be even higher this year, and some are estimating it at 77%.





Below is a look at just the swing states from the above tables. The number of registered voters in the swing states for this year's presidential election is almost 24% higher than in 2004.





Obama is leading in the swing states as a whole by roughly 50% to 43% (see graph below) with only 16 days remaining until the election.
