Voter turnout in New York City municipal elections has fallen sharply in recent years. According to the NYC Campaign Finance Board, only 23.3% of eligible voters cast ballots in the 2021 general election. The nonpartisan partnership aims to boost participation in a city where turnout has clearly reached record lows. Who’s on the Ballot has been directed by Columbia University’s Professor Ester Fuchs for over a decade. It allows voters to access personalized, nonpartisan information including poll locations, sample ballots, candidate and proposition information, and voter registration status. The Palumba app was developed by Columbia SIPA students and faculty volunteers to help voters quickly learn where the mayoral candidates stand on the issues which have dominated the campaign. Modeled after a familiar dating-app interface, users decide their own policy preference among those offered by the candidates. An open-source algorithm then matches them with candidates who share their priorities. This makes it easier for voters to navigate the complex issues that are informing this mayoral election. During the 2024 European Elections, Palumba reached nearly 200,000 voters and became the #1 app in the App Store across several countries. Building on that success, Palumba aims to reach 20 million users globally by 2029 through its built-in social sharing tools. This partnership between Who’s on the Ballot and Palumba gives New York City voters easy access to a comprehensive voter engagement experience. Prof Fuchs and Pol Villaverde, President of Palumba.org agree that “elections are the cornerstone of democratic practice” and we need to make it easier to be informed voters and get to the polls and vote. As New Yorkers prepare for this mayoral election, Palumba NYC and Who’s on the Ballot hope to remind residents that voting gives them power to shape New York City’s future. This digital app makes it easy for New Yorkers to both be informed and to vote. So New Yorkers who usually complain that they have no time for anything now have no excuse to skip this election.
