Election Survey Project
body
2022 saw one of the most historic elections in our nation’s history, which included the President’s Party gaining a seat in the Senate, a near even split between both Parties in Congress and women getting elected in increased numbers across the country, including the highest number of female governors ever.
DOSW leveraged our expanded research and data science abilities and launched its first ever voter election survey, as well as a social media initiative that interviewed everyday San Franciscans about their voting decisions. In the future, the Department looks to improve our methodology over time, and this inquiry provided valuable insight into what makes voters tick, particularly around issues disproportionally impacting women, such as abortion rights and public safety.
