Commissioner Valerie White requests specific data from Bella Wang of the League of Women Voters regarding increased voter inclusivity (racial, youth, renters) from even-year elections.

Wang cites California research on school board elections showing significant increases in Latino, Asian, and younger voter shares, and notes similar turnout boosts in NYC's minority-majority districts during even years.

White also asks that the League's upcoming study on primary systems include statistics on diverse participation.
