Latino voter turnout projected to set record numbers in 2024
Super Tuesday is March 5 and new numbers show Latinos will turn up in record numbers.
According to projections from The National Association of Latino Elected and Appointed Officials (NALEO) Educational Fund, at least 4.8 million Latinos in California will cast their ballots this November, an increase of 6.1% from 2020 and 44.0% from 2016. The Latino share of all California voters in 2024 is expected to be 28.4%, which mirrors the Latino share in 2020 and is a 22.4% increase from 2016.
“As a citizen, we can make an impact in our country, so it's one of the things we can control ourselves,” said 18-year-old, Andrea.
"We've always had a lower voter turnout just because we've never been encouraged to vote and now that we have that right, I think it's important that we take advantage of it," said 19-year-old Yuliana.
Both acknowledge the importance of voting, saying they're proud to be part of the growing number of Latinos doing so.
"So, this means one out of four voters will be Latino in 2024," said Dorian Caal with NALEO Educational Fund.
Caal says one of the key factors for that increase is population growth, specifically those now old enough to vote.
“We know that Latinos are a younger community. So those that are turning of age, but are also citizens and are also eligible to register and vote is also increasing,” said Caal.
