One thought on “Policy Options Brief on Increasing Local Voter Turnout”
The memo opens with a strong statement by President Barack Obama. However, I think your argument would be strengthened by reference to poll research on low voter turnout and demographics. You referenced an example in Utah with regard to Latinos. However, on a national scale, who’s voting? For New York?
Maybe one policy option you could address is moving election days to weekends, so that it’s more accessible for potential voters. It might also be useful to address the shortcomings of the policies you have proposed.
An interesting topic that warrants more attention!
