One of the most visible symptoms of this crisis has been the decline in voter turnout. New York City turnout has been among the worst in the country – declining from 73 % in 1972 to 62 % in 2016 in the presidential elections and from 93% in 1953 to the abysmal 21.7% in 2017 in the mayoral elections.1 There is also a wide consensus around the repeated and multiple failures of the NYC Board of Elections (BOE) to improve voter experience that accounts for at least some of the reduced turnout.
