What is a Midterm Election?
▹Citizens cast votes for the Presidential Election every 4 years. However, Midterm Elections occur every 2 years since members of the House of Representatives have 2 year terms, and members of the Senate are elected every 6 years. Senate election years are divided amongst the chamber so that only a 1/3 of U.S. Senate seats have elections during the midterms.
Why Do We Have Midterm Elections in the United States?
▹ While the Presidential Elections usually see higher voter turnout rates, the Midterm Elections allow for citizens to elect leaders who will represent their states and directly assist their constituents. Members of Congress play an important role writing legislation and creating polices that impact communities with wide-reaching effects on our day-to-day lives.

Why Should I Vote?
▹Since 1996, Asian American and Pacific Islander groups have had the lowest turnout rate among racial and ethnic groups in the United States. Even among college-educated voters, turnout lagged behind their white, Black, and Hispanic voting groups.
▹However, Census data shows that Asian Americans have been able to increase their turnout rate the most by any other racial or ethnic group between 2016 and 2020. These numbers demonstrate critical momentum by the communities, especially in swing states like Georgia and Arizona. It is predicted that the Asian American and Pacific Islander electorate will have great political influence as the fastest-growing racial or ethnic group in the country.
Your Vote Matters.
▹ Your vote is one of the most direct methods as a U.S. citizen to shape the public policy-making process. The leaders that you elect represent your voice, your interests, and your future. While voting turnout tends to drop during midterm elections compared to Presidential elections, they are just as critical and necessary to everyday voters.
