By November, about 60% of Gen Z will be eligible to vote in New York’s general election. But will they? Data trends suggest: no. Eligible voters under 30 are a majorly underrepresented group of voters in New York, making our Youth Ambassador program, especially during a critical election year, more relevant and impactful than ever. In this program, youth will immerse themselves in the world of local democracy. Ambassadors will learn how to host Get Out The Vote events across NYC and gain the skills needed to help increase voter participation in their own communities. Representing NYC’s diversity, this year's NYC Votes Youth Ambassadors speak 9 different languages, with over half fluent in languages other than English. The NYC Votes Youth Ambassador program is just one step toward ensuring youth voices are included in our city’s democracy. https://lnkd.in/eBwgXsSf

Local democracy shapes our day-to-day lives in NYC. But, despite 82% of eligible voters being registered, very few New Yorkers vote in local elections. By aligning local elections with state and federal elections (which consistently see higher turnout), we can: ✓ Increase participation in local races that influence the issues New Yorkers care most about ✓ Increase representation among those who show up, including younger voters and voters of color ✓ Reduce the influence of special interests, whose independent expenditures have more power to sway low-turnout elections ✓ Save the $60 million in taxpayer dollars it costs to administer low-participation primary and general elections New York has the roadmap to building a stronger, more inclusive democracy. Let's get moving. https://lnkd.in/eDmXknMj

"The more people that participate in New York City's elections, the stronger our democracy." Our Executive Director Paul Seamus Ryan joined the great Errol Louis on NY1 News to discuss the staggering gap between voter registration (82%) and voter turnout (7.2%-12.8%), the average age of NYC voters and the many languages we speak, and other trends from last year’s elections. They also discuss the CFB’s recommendation to align local elections with state and federal elections, which would increase participation and save tens of millions in taxpayer dollars.
