Our District is diverse. In the 4 zip-codes we polled, out of 4,025 respondents, 53% took our survey in English while 48% took our survey in Spanish.
The bulk of our respondents live in zip-codes 10460 & 10462, which tend to be the more resource-rich communities. (2/6)

Both English & Spanish speakers are not informed about Ranked Choice Voting. A majority of those surveyed did not know about RCV & had never heard about it.
Spanish voters articulated confidence in the system, which we interpret as a linguistic divide in RCV outreach. (3/6)

Voters overwhelmingly prefer voting early & Spanish voters lean towards voting on Election Day or by mail.
In order to deliver RCV results quickly, without burdening BOE, we’ll need to encourage Spanish speaking voters to early vote & have the investment to do that. (4/6)

We need to do good by our communities.
The fact is we need:

• Advocacy orgs that pushed this thru in Nov ‘19, must double-down on their rollout efforts
