BBC NewsVoters in Guernsey used 26 of their possible 38 votes on average at the first island-wide general election, according to political analyst Adrian Lee.
Each individual was allowed to select up to 38 candidates on their ballot, as the new system removed the previous seven electoral districts.
It means about 70% of possible votes were cast by those voting.
Mr Lee said the figure was "in line" with similar elections in various jurisdictions, including Jersey's island-wide election of its senators.
He said the 8% increase in turnout from the 2016 election was likely to have been triggered by big political talking points including Guernsey's education reform.
However, the poll-topping success of Deputies Gavin St Pier and Heidi Soulsby demonstrated the importance of the island's coronavirus handling for voters, Mr Lee added.
