Introduction#

This website contains analysis of who voted in every Cambridge election since 2011.

Some key takeaways:

  • There has been a large increase in participation in local election by voters under 40 since 2016

  • Even year (National + State) elections drive significantly higher turnout

    • This effect is amplified in under 40 voters.

  • Undergraduates have extremely low registration and turnout. Especially in local elections.
