Survey Reveals Overwhelming Civic Engagement Among Tech Developers
SANTA CRUZ, Calif. - Californer -- U.S. tech developers are positioned to become a powerful force in the 2024 election, according to a new survey by Evans Data Corporation. With 97% of U.S. developers registered to vote and 90% "very likely" to cast their ballots, their engagement significantly outpaces national voter averages.
Developers also demonstrate an extraordinary level of political interest—56% report being "very interested" in politics, compared to just 36% of the general population . "This heightened engagement indicates that tech professionals are not just building tomorrow's technology but are actively participating in shaping public policy today," said James Owen, director of research at Evans Data Corp.
The survey reveals a nuanced political identity within the developer community. While 42% identify with the Democratic Party, 27% align with Republicans, and 23% claim independence—highlighting a diversity of viewpoints that defies traditional party lines. Developers' voting patterns suggest they are motivated by issues relevant to both innovation and regulation, making them an influential demographic in shaping policies that impact technology, privacy, and economic growth.

"As digital technologies permeate every aspect of society, developers are emerging as key contributors to the democratic process," said Mr. Owen. "Their participation could influence decisions on policies that affect both the tech industry and broader societal issues."
With their strong turnout anticipated this election, tech developers are on track to play a pivotal role in steering national discussions on innovation, privacy, and the future of work. Their influence will likely extend beyond the ballot box, as they advocate for policies that align with the ethical use of technology, data transparency, and sustainable economic growth. This level of engagement from the tech sector signals a shift in how public policy is shaped, with developers emerging as critical voices in debates that will define the next era of innovation.
