According to recent articles, NYC ranks amongst the lowest of major cities in voter turnout. In response to this, voting analytics team members from the Harris presidential campaign wanted to explore how to translate ideas for boosting turnout into questions that could be answered using open data – and empower you to do the same.
You can expect a presentation starting with a brief walk through of the types of voting questions the team answered on the campaign using data, a highlight of factors contributing to low voter turnout in recent NYC elections, an overview of how these factors can be translated into questions that can be explored through open datasets, and a dive into a specific case study as an example. The session will close with a facilitated discussion on voter engagement and data to bring folks across the sector together to brainstorm, ideate and learn from one another.
