- In the US, many eligible voters have to not only register to vote, but re-register to vote. Automatic voter re-registration – which targets those already registered rather than all eligible nonregistrants – would on its own increase turnout in the US by 5.8 percentage points. https://www.cambridge.org/core/journals/american-political-science-review/article/abs/automatic-voter-reregistration-as-a-housewarming-gift-quantifying-causal-effects-on-turnout-using-movers/14624CB0F652198DFBDCF7253E64E403 46 comments science
- Men in rich countries are the least likely to care about climate change. The climate concern gap is far smaller in poorer countries.
