Tackling a Struggling Electoral System and Low Voter Turnout in New York
New York has a long track record of poor voter turnout and civic engagement. In 2021, just 23% of registered voters cast ballots in the NYC mayoral primary and, over ten years, only 3% of voters participated in every election for which they were eligible. In 2020, MIT’s Elections Performance Index ranked New York State 47th in voter turnout and electoral administration, placing New York below states such as Texas and Georgia. In 2024’s presidential election, New York ranked 49th or second to last in voter turnout among the 50 largest cities.
