Event Overview

The “so called” ethnic vote is always a major discussion during electoral cycles. That is because as the demographics of the country continue to change, becoming less white and more diverse, so does the voting population. But how does political affiliation change over time? How about the new voters? What motivates them to register and vote — or not? We know that 45% of the new Gen Z voters are people of color. Will they vote more or less than their white counterparts?

This is the first of several briefings we are planning with representatives from different ethnic groups over the next few months.
