Election concerns? Recommends including ballot box (8)
I believe the answer is:
turnouts
'election concerns?' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both groups as well as being plural nouns.
Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'recommends including ballot box' is the wordplay.
'recommends' becomes 'touts' (I've seen this in another clue).
'including' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'ballot box' becomes 'urn' (urn can mean a ballot box in some countries).
'touts' going around 'urn' is 'TURNOUTS'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Another definition for turnouts that I've seen is " Crowds".)
