Using Technology to Harness the Power of Our Vote
The Internet has impacted nearly every aspect of our day-to-day lives: it’s reshaping how we communicate, the way we get news and information and, more recently, how we elect our presidents. Unsurprisingly, the ever-growing Latino community is at the forefront of this revolution—as over-indexing early adopters of new technologies.
A Pew Research Center study found that 93 percent of Latinos ages 19–29 are online. That’s a lot of connected Latinos. Naturally, NCLR wanted to find a way to engage this growing population of eligible voters. This is why we partnered with Rock the Vote to develop a new, easy-to-use voter registration tool that will allow us to register voters, whether at home or on the go.
With this tool, voters can quickly begin the voter registration process from their home computer or mobile device. Our friends at Rock the Vote have made the process very simple: fill out the digital voter registration form, print it, and mail it to your local registrar. That’s it! Take those three steps before your state’s voter registration deadline and you’re all set to vote on November 4.
A lot is at stake for our community in this election, so don’t wait, register today:
