Camden Reports is a work in progress. We welcome your comments. To obtain copies of this report, and other Camden Reports, become a member and obtain all reports on-line at www.camconnect.org. CAMConnect is a partnership committed to sharing and using information that will lead to informed decisions and better policy making to improve the quality of life of all Camden citizens. CAMConnect is based on a model for the use of advanced neighborhood level information systems in policy making and local capacity building. Our partnership includes community and neighborhood groups, government, community-based organizations, hospitals, educational institutions, businesses, and other organizations that use and collect information. Data Source: Camden City Clerk, Camden County Clerk, U.S. Census 2000, Camden County Board of Elections, Walter Rand Institute for Public Affairs (Rutgers) Data Limitations: This report is intended to show voter participation in the City of Camden. The primary indicator used is the number of voters relative to the voting age population. Data pertaining to voter registration are not emphasized in this report, because voter registration records are not always an accurate reflection of those citizens who can vote. Future Work: This report will be updated with information from elections before 1997 and subsequent to 2003. Also, statistical analysis to further determine which demographic characteristics influence voting patterns in Camden is a possible future objective. DRAFT 2 CAMConnect October 2003
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The following report is based on data obtained from the Camden City Clerk and the Camden County Clerk for elections from 1997 through 2003. For the purposes of this study, the primary indicator used is a comparison of actual voters to the voting age population (VAP) in each election district in the City of Camden. Among the findings of the report, which are illustrated in the following pages: Residents in Camden City vote at a lower rate than residents of adjacent municipalities or other jurisdictions in Camden County. However, the voter participation rate in Camden is comparable to that of other similar communities in New Jersey, such as Paterson, Elizabeth, and Trenton. Although the rate of voter participation in Camden City is lower than surrounding communities, the rate of voter registration is not. This suggests that efforts to improve voter turnout in Camden must focus on education and getting citizens to the polls, not just on registration drives. Voter participation in Camden has declined over the last election cycle, following similar trends that are occurring statewide. Age is an indicator of voting tendencies. Residents in the neighborhood of Parkside, which has a relatively large population of people over 50 voted at a higher rate than did residents of East Camden and Cramer Hill, which have lower median ages. Residents in primarily Latino neighborhoods of Camden are less likely to vote than residents of primarily African-American neighborhoods or neighborhoods of mixed ethnicity. Voter participation for the last comparable election for the State Legislature in 1999 was 12 percent of registered voters and 9 percent of the voting age population. Voter participation varies greatly between different elections. Participation peaked in the 2000 Presidential election, when 45 percent of registered voters, or 34 percent of the voting age population actually voted. Participation has likely been affected by the perceived quality and background of the candidates and voter apathy following political scandals like the conviction of former or Milton Milan. Participation reached 24 percent of the voting age population during the 1997 oral race with five candidates including one Latino, three African-Americans, and one Caucasian, representing a spectrum of demographic groups of the City. In the following oral election of 2001, turnout plummeted to 16 percent when only two candidates were on the ballot, both African-American. The dropoff was particularly significant in predominately Latino sections of the City, such as parts of North Camden, Cramer Hill, and East Camden. DRAFT 3 CAMConnect October 2003
Voter Participation Report, City of Camden, 1997-2003 The following report is based on data obtained from the Camden City Clerk and the Camden County Clerk for elections from 1997 through 2003. The Camden County Board of Elections maintains the paper maps of election districts, which CAMConnect recreated as GIS shapefiles. Many voter participation studies compare the number of actual voters to the number of registered voters. While this indicator is useful, CAMConnect does not believe that it represents the best possible measure of civic engagement. The National Voter Registration Act of 1993 (commonly known as the motor voter law) made purging registration rolls far more difficult, meaning that the registration lists do not always reflect who is actually available to vote. Therefore, for the purposes of this study, the primary indicator used is a comparison of actual voters to the voting age population (VAP) in each election district in the City of Camden. To be sure, the VAP measure also has some limitations because it includes some people who aren t eligible to vote, such as noncitizens and convicted felons. Accordingly, population data used for this CAMConnect study were adjusted to remove those people at Camden County Jail or Riverfront State Prison. Election district boundaries do not correspond with census tract boundaries in many instances. In order to determine accurate estimates of population and demographics for each election district, CAMConnect staff identified the census blocks that made up each election district. Data pertaining to the census blocks were aggregated to provide an indication of the demographic elements of each election district. 2000 Census data were used as the basis for all demographic comparisons presented in this report. While some of the election data date from before 2000 and some from after, CAMConnect identified the 2000 Census as an ideal baseline that provides the best possible snapshot of demographic characteristics within each election district. Most of the maps in this report reflect the election districts that were in effect from the early 1990s through 2001. As required by law, the City of Camden redistricted following the 2000 Census. The first redistricting relating to this Census resulted in the election map that was used for the November 2002 election. Subsequent to that election, a court decision invalidated the revised map, forcing another redistricting. This second redistricting resulted in the creation of the election map used for the 2003 election, and ostensibly for all elections for the next seven or eight years. DRAFT 4 CAMConnect October 2003
