The Local Impact Of Uncontested Elections

  • サマリー

  • You've likely heard the saying "all politics is local." But here's the hitch. For many local offices, there's often just one candidate running in a race. Sometimes, nobody's running at all. In 2022, 67 percent of races went uncontested. That's according to the nonpartisan research organization BallotReady.

    That not only leaves voters with a lack of choice, but also raises questions about how and where we choose to live and who influences local policies.

    We discuss uncontested races and why they matter.
