With the primaries over, over 70% of the state legislature seats are already decided as they face no opponents in the general election, bar any write-in candidates, according to an analysis by the Network.

When politicians don't face competition, they don't have to listen to us or work to earn our votes. They don't deliver on the issues that matter most to us. From housing affordability to our climate crisis, we need a system that can meet the moment.

Vote YES on Question 3 for All-Party Primaries to ensure more competition and accountability in Massachusetts. Go to yeson3ma.org to learn more!

As communities across the country grapple with declining trust in government and rapidly evolving technology, the Allen Lab for Democracy Renovation at the Ash Center for Democratic Governance and Innovation at Harvard Kennedy School is launching the Digital Civic Infrastructure Initiative. It's a new effort to explore how technology can strengthen democratic participation, improve government transparency, and help governments better serve residents.

The Initiative is led by Professor Danielle Allen, founder of PID, whose work to renovate democratic institutions for the twenty-first century has helped launch a national conversation around using technology to make democracy more responsive, accountable, and inclusive.
