PROVO If you want interest groups to have less power over politicians, you should vote in off-cycle elections, a new study from Brigham Young University suggests.
The study, published in the American Political Science Review, suggests that governments voted into power during off-cycle elections are more responsive to lobbying and interest groups, especially when those interest groups oppose the interests of the average voter. Off-cycle elections refer to local elections without a legislative, national congressional or presidential race on the ballot.
The study looked at 1,600 United States cities with populations above 20,000 including multiple cities in Utah and compared the preferences of voters in each city to city spending habits after elections. The researchers assumed, in accordance with other political science research, that conservative cities would spend less money on public employees and liberal cities would spend more.
KUER There’s a long history of separating “off-cycle” municipal elections from national races. But with traditionally low voter turnout, new research suggests local governments formed during these elections can be more responsive to special interest groups than they are to residents.
Presidential and Congressional elections are a big draw for voters. 2020 saw record-breaking numbers. This year Utah will hold smaller municipal elections throughout the state though, and those “off-cycle elections” don’t often get a ton of turnout.
According to a new study in the American Political Science Review, that could mean special interest groups hold more sway over those governments. Brigham Young University political scientist Adam Dynes was one of the paper’s co-authors, and joined KUER’s Caroline Ballard to talk about his findings.
