Far more Gen Z will be eligible to vote this year, but what will it take to get them to the polls? It's estimated that 40 million + members of Gen Z will be eligible to cast a ballot this fall. Young voters are about one-fifth of the U.S. electorate. In presidential election years, voters aged 18 to 29 generally have higher turnout than they do in non-presidential years. For example, turnout for this age group increased by 3.4% from the 2016 to the 2020 general election. As Gen Z connects the dots between their daily struggles and what’s on the ballot, young voters are joining the civic engagement conversation in greater numbers. Both to express their support for candidates and to hold them accountable. But how do we ensure eligibility translates to action at the polls? We’ve got until November 5, 2024, to figure it out. https://lnkd.in/dTm_x_YB

About us
The Campaign Finance Board is a nonpartisan, independent city agency that serves the public interest by enhancing the role of New York City residents in the electoral process. Through its administration of the Campaign Finance Program, created in 1988, the CFB educates voters about the candidates and enables more citizens to compete for city office. The Program amplifies the impact of New Yorkers’ small contributions by matching them with public funds, reducing the possibility and the perception of corruption associated with large contributions and unlimited campaign spending.

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

We’re zooming into our city’s community data. What does this have to do with voting? Key stats, like age, income, and education level can tell us about civic engagement disparities across the city. Recently, we published NYC’s first ever Community Profiles. This project is a deep dive into each neighborhood’s highly unique demographics. Data can also help highlight barriers to voting across NYC, which can help inform our work, and strengthen our democracy. Look up your Community Profile here: https://lnkd.in/eppkc96h

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

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

"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.
