Why Vote?
The Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) community falls behind other groups when it comes to civic engagement, with 48% of Asian Americans voting, and with even fewer Pacific Islanders voting in the 2016 Presidential Election. However, AAPIs are large and comprised of many ethnicities, subgroups, and languages, and disaggregating the data tells a more complete story of voting behavior within this group. For instance, while Indian Americans have the highest levels of voter registration and voting, other groups such as Korean Americans have far lower levels of civic engagement.
