What a pathetic turnout… aren’t there a few hundred thousand city of Birmingham residents?

The total turnout approximately equaled 45%. There are 116,668 registered voters in the city of Birmingham. According to the 2005 census, there are 222,154 people living in the city.
We are working on compiling numbers from other recent mayoral elections in neighboring cities.
