State and congressional elections have become increasingly less competitive: an estimated 70% of elections in 2020 were essentially determined in the primary. What does that mean for independent voters in states that have closed primaries? Check out our report for details on how primaries work in every state along with the role of independent voters in the United States. #Election2024 #elections https://lnkd.in/e7KavjEe

Check out my op-ed in the Daily News about why NYC elections need to be aligned with state and federal elections, a recommendation of the New York City Campaign Finance Board. NYC has stellar voter registration at 82%, but dismal voter participation--7.2% in last year's primary, and 12.8%. Combining NYC elections with state and federal candidates would dramatically increase voter participation in city elections, and would save taxpayers the $60 million it costs to administer NYC-only elections in every odd-numbered-year. A democracy is only as good as the people who make it. New York has the roadmap to building a stronger, more inclusive democracy. Let's get moving! https://lnkd.in/eg8sji74

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
