So if I'm reading this old data right (2015): http://archive.somervillema.gov//sites/default/files/documents/Official%20Election%20Results%2011-3-15.pdf

Voter registration has increased from 46314 to 51378. That's interesting. A lot was in place last year for the Prez race, it seems. But still good.

Turnout in 2015: 6546 ballots cast.

More involvement, by a lot? In an off year that's kind of nice to see.
