Employers hold significant sway over voter turnout, new research finds

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

New research indicates that employers significantly influence voter turnout among their employees. A study analyzing LinkedIn data and voter files for 30 million workers found that changing to an employer with stronger civic engagement practices can increase an individual's likelihood of voting by up to 5.8 percentage points. The findings suggest that workplaces are a powerful, yet often overlooked, tool for boosting democratic participation, with simple interventions like reminders and paid leave for voting or poll working proving effective.
