increased dramatically
Voter participation dropped in the state of New York between the elections of 1824 and 1828. This decrease was primarily due to a change in voting laws that required property ownership for participation, which affected many potential voters. Despite the overall trend of increasing voter participation during this period in the United States, New York's specific legal changes led to a notable decline in the number of individuals able to cast their ballots.
Voter turnout increased during this period due to the removal of property ownership requirements in many states, allowing more white males to vote. This led to higher participation in elections, with voter turnout peaking in the election of 1840.
Between 1824 and 1840, U.S. politics became more democratic through the expansion of suffrage, as many states removed property requirements, allowing more white men to vote. This increased voter participation was reflected in the rising number of ballots cast in elections. Political parties also evolved, with the emergence of the Democratic Party and the Whig Party, which actively engaged in grassroots campaigning and mobilization efforts, including rallies and parades, to attract a broader electorate. These changes contributed to a more inclusive political landscape and greater public involvement in the democratic process.
Campaigning in 1824 and 1824 changed the way elections would forever be ran. The elections those years were particular vicious with dirty tactics.
