NY state legislature votes to move some local elections to even-numbered years – WRVO

Onondaga County Democratic Elections Commissioner Dustin Czarny said there’s a stark difference in turnout between odd years, which feature local elections, and even years, with state and federal races on the ballot.

“In Onondaga County, we average, in even years, 63% turnout,” Czarny said. “In local years, odd years, it’s 32% turnout, so it’s almost double.”
