Voting by mail, mail-in voting, and absentee ballot voting are all (slightly different) processes you can follow to cast your ballot through the mail. Whichever processes your state uses, voting by mail has been a staple of US elections for over 100 years.
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.
One in 10 eligible voters in the US is a naturalized citizen. In recent years, Hispanic adults have made up the largest share (34%) of that population. More than half of naturalized citizen voters live in four states: California, Florida, New York, and Texas. Together, these states hold roughly a third of the US electorate.
These facts show where many Latino families live, work, organize, and vote. But each household has its own story: a bus driver, a teacher, a small-business owner, or a college student. Each ballot represents those daily lives.
National Voter Registration Day (NVRD) is the largest single-day voter registration drive of the year.
Since 2012, partners like the League of Women Voters have celebrated this nonpartisan civic holiday, registering millions of voters at libraries, college campuses, community centers, via VOTE411.org, and more!
Access to free, trusted, and unrestricted information is essential to empowering an informed and engaged electorate. Elections at the federal, state, and local levels directly affect the communities that libraries serve and the issues their users care about. Access to nonpartisan civic information that breaks down the barriers to ballot casting is critical to ensuring all Americans can engage in the democratic process.
In every election — federal or local, competitive or (seemingly) clear-cut, invigorating or exhausting — Leagues empower voters and defend democracy.
The 2024 election was no exception.
