A bar chart comparing two figures from the Coral Gables April 2026 special election. The left bar, in blue, shows 37,332 ballots mailed. The right bar, in gray, shows 30,342 active eligible voters. A dashed horizontal line connects the two bars at the height of the shorter bar, with a downward arrow and the label "Difference: 6,990 voters" in orange text between them. A note at the bottom of the chart reads: "Inactive registered voters received ballots but are excluded from the official turnout calculation." The chart title reads "Ballots mailed vs. voters counted in turnout."
