A growing number of voters in Schenectady County would rather have no affiliation than align themselves with a political party.
Over a five-year span, those residents who have registered with no party affiliation, have grown 13.9% to 26,256 active voters as of February 2021, up from 23,049 active voters in November 2017, according to state enrollment figures.
The trend is not just evident in Schenectady County; it can also be found at the state level. During the same time period, New York saw a growth of 15.1% in voters choosing to have no party affiliation.
