Educating Voters

We host hundreds of events and programs every year to educate voters about candidates in thousands of federal, state and local races, as well as distribute millions of educational materials about state and local elections. 

Why It Matters

The leaders we elect make decisions that affect our daily lives. Elections are our chance to stand up for what matters most to us and to have an impact on the issues that affect us, our communities, our families and our future. 

What We're Doing

We host hundreds of candidate debates and forums across the country each year and provide straightforward information about candidates and ballot issues. Through print and online resources, including VOTE411.org, we equip voters with essential information about the election process in each state, including polling place hours and locations, ballot information, early or absentee voting rules, voter registration deadlines, ID requirements and more.

Cada año, aproximadamente 1,4 millones de hispanos se vuelven elegibles para votar. Además, el electorado latino es más joven que el promedio nacional: su edad promedio es de unos 37 años, casi una década menos que la del conjunto del país. 

Cuando los jóvenes se registran y votan, no solo suman un voto más: llevan las historias de sus familias a las decisiones públicas. Un primer voto puede reflejar los sacrificios de los padres, la guía de un maestro y las esperanzas de una comunidad, y así convertirse en parte de la vida pública.
