Abstract: The voter model on $mathbb{Z}^d$ is a particle system that serves as a rough model for changes of opinions among social agents or, alternatively, competition between biological species occupying space. When $dgeq3$, the set of (extremal) stationary distributions is a family of measures $m{u}_{a}lpha$, for $alpha$ between 0 and 1. A configuration sampled from $m{u}_{a}lpha$ is a strongly correlated field of 0's and 1's on $mathbb{Z}^d$ in which the density of 1's is $alpha$. We consider such a configuration as a site percolation model on $mathbb{Z}^d$. We prove that if $dgeq5$, the probability of existence of an infinite percolation cluster of 1's exhibits a phase transition in $alpha$. If the voter model is allowed to have sufficiently spread-out interactions, we prove the same result for $dgeq3$.
