CD 1and CD 2 continue to show the number of voters not affiliated with either major party is greater than or within 5% of the number of voters registered to one of the major parties.
State Senate Districts
| Party | # Districts Lose Voter Share | # Districts Gain Voter Share | # Districts No Change |
| Democratic | 5 | 14 | 2 |
| Republican | 19 | 1 | 1 |
| Non-Partisan | 0 | 21 | 0 |

In 15 districts (71.14%) the number of voters registered as Non-Partisan or the total number not affiliated with either major party is greater than or within 5% of the number of voters registered to one of the major parties. There was no change from March.
State Assembly Districts
| Party | # Districts Lose Voter Share | # Districts Gain Voter Share | # Districts No Change |
| Democratic | 21 | 17 | 4 |
| Republican | 36 | 6 | 0 |
| Non-Partisan | 2 | 38 | 2 |
| Other | 13 | 21 | 8 |
In 31 districts (73.81%) the number of voters registered as Non-Partisan or the total number not affiliated with either major party is greater than or within 5% of the number of voters registered to one of the major parties. This is a decrease of one from March.
We are six weeks away from the primary election. In spite of this Non-Partisan is showing increase in voter share. There are seven races, four Democratic and three Republican that will be decided in the primary as only one party has candidates. An average of over 50 percent of voters in those districts will have no say in who represents them.
It’s interesting to see the numbers declining in the demographic group of “55+”. I would think this would be the most stalwart of partisan voters.
Let’s just hope the changes don’t stop there, but continue at the voting booth, reflecting the same dissatisfaction.
Bob, While still the lowest in NP registration, the slow growth in this demographic has been consistent.
