    The Bloomington Open Government Roadmap, prepared in January 2024, identifies civic engagement challenges facing the city despite high resident favorability ratings and strong community pride. Key findings reveal low voter turnout (14% in recent mayoral elections versus 23% state average), limited public meeting attendance, and underutilized digital engagement channels, with social media followers remaining modest (14,000 on X, 13,000 on Facebook, 2,900 on Instagram) despite reaching 48,000 people annually. The report, based on research and community listening sessions, proposes building formal and informal channels for meaningful community input as a priority for the new mayoral administration to rebuild open and inclusive government.
