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.
