New Zealand is spending $19 million to fund additional staff and safety measures for its parliamentary elections next month, said Claire Pasley, an electoral commission spokesperson. That’s a cost of around $6.20 for each expected voter. American authorities would need to spend around $750 million to match New Zealand’s investment, based on 2016 turnout.
Globally, there’s been little indication that voters are sitting out 2020 elections due to the pandemic.
