Ceteris paribus, or all other things being equal, economics predicts that voter turnout will be higher when the number of eligible voters is smaller because each vote has a relatively greater impact on the outcome, and when it is easier to get to the polls on election day, as lower costs (in terms of time, effort, etc.) increase participation.
