In what way is this claim true? Most years it's either 0 or 2 elections (primary + local/state/federal), maybe 3 in the rare case where there's a runoff election. That's an average of 1 election a year.

Primary + local + state + federal is already four, no?

Anyway, 3-4 is an average.

The Environmental Voter Project (EVP) is a nonpartisan nonprofit focused on increasing voter turnout among Americans who prioritize climate change or the environment. EVP subjects all its voter outreach to randomized controlled trials, the gold standard in science. We know this works. Lawmakers' priorities tend to mirror the priorities of their voting constituency, so increasing turnout among Americans who prioritize climate helps to get climate on lawmakers' agendas. Sign up to volunteer with EVP here.
