Why Should I Vote?
▹  Since 1996, Asian American and Pacific Islander groups have had the lowest voter turnout rates among other racial and ethnic groups in the United States. Even among college-educated voters, AAPI turnout has lagged behind that of White, Black, and Hispanic voters.

▹  However, voter turnout among Asian Americans increased significantly from 49% in 2016 to 59% in 2020, according to the U.S. Census Bureau. With over 15 million eligible Asian American voters, or 6.1% of the voter population, the AAPI community played a crucial role in deciding the fate of swing state elections in Georgia, Arizona and Nevada.

▹  It is predicted that the Asian American and Pacific Islander population is projected to rise to more than 35.8 million by 2060, or more than triple their 2000 population. The continued growth of the AAPI electorate will translate to greater political influence as the fastest-growing racial or ethnic group in the country.

▹   The double-digit surge in Asian American voter turnout demonstrates a critical shift in the perception of the Korean American community as a critical voting bloc, especially as elections are being determined by razor-thin margins.

Your Vote Matters.
