The Google data shows that searches for “where to vote” account for about twice as much Google search volume this November as they have in previous presidential election years in 2004, 2008 and 2012. Broader search queries, such as “voting,” show a similar pattern — though those searches could be related to such information as early-vote tallies or to non-election voting for things like TV shows (America's Got Talent, etc.).

A person wanting to know “where to vote,” on the other hand, is probably looking for specific, practical information on where to cast a ballot. The related queries that Google shows for this search bolster that assumption — they include queries on how to register, how to vote and voter eligibility.

Other signs point to higher-than-normal voter turnout in 2016. More than 47 million voters have cast early ballots this year, smashing the previous early-voting record of 32 million in 2012. Some of that increase is due to simple population growth, and some of it comes from more states adding early and no-excuse absentee voting this year.

Early voting also indicates that Latino participation may hit record levels this year. This is likely to be a boon for Hillary Clinton, given Trump's record-low support among Latino voters.

Political betting markets have also recently taken a turn toward predicting higher turnout. At PredictIt, the odds for a turnout of 145 million voters — or more than roughly 63 percent turnout — have spiked in recent days. A number of that magnitude could be higher than the turnout in any election since the 1960s.

High turnout could be favorable for the Clinton campaign. “Most often, higher turnout favors Democrats,” political scientist Michael P. McDonald told Factcheck.org earlier this year. This is because demographic groups that historically have low turnout rates — minorities and young people chief among them — tend to prefer Democratic candidates.
