Faculty note: Indiana reporter interviews Weinschenk on election options


UW-Green Bay political scientist Aaron Weinschenk, assistant professor of Public and Environmental Affairs, says switching local council and mayoral elections to coincide with higher-turnout November elections might be a good way to boost voter participation and encourage local candidates to address a wider and more diverse electorate. Weinschenk is quoted at length on page 3 (online) of a Terre Haute (Ind.) Tribune-Star analysis piece.
