For UFT election turnout nuts, we have put together the numbers based on what we received in 2016 compared to 2022. We think we got it right for a basic apples-to-apples comparison.

Over 193,000 ballots were mailed out in the 2022 UFT election.
Some of the changes in the increases and decreases in the Bronx might be explained by high schools that were in the community districts in 2016 now being placed back in the high school district. If not, then there was a huge increase in the turnout in the high schools and a big drop in the districts.
Some districts are much bigger than others so these raw numbers don't tell that much except to compare with 2016 to see where participation in the election increased, decreased, or remained relatively steady.
For example, District 24 is traditionally a Unity stronghold. The turnout was way down this year compared to 2016. That lends credence to the Jonathan Halabi theory that Unity and the opposition are fishing in different ponds for votes. 654 fewer votes were cast in 2022 compared to 2016 in D24. I would make an educated guess that most of those who didn't vote were former Unity voters who threw the ballot out. They didn't know the opposition well enough to vote for us but they knew they don't like Mulgrew. Add in turnover and you have newer UFTers not interested in the process. The result is lower participation in the election.
Who cares? Unity won again. This blog will be used as a place for DOE information, and everyone will vote Unity again next time too.

ReplyDeleteHmm, I wonder why Bronx HS’s almost doubled in turnout? The conditions in the Bronx are atrocious.
