How Scotland voted While turnout in the 2010 election was 64 per cent, a whopping 97 per cent of Scots have registered for their referendum ballot, the largest electorate ever in Scotland. Yes and No share of vote don't add up to 100%, due to rejected papers included in total. Latest YouGov polls show a significant drop in the women voters' support that the Yes campaign had recently gained. Yes campaign lost ground across all age groups, except those aged 40-59.
