Update: UnidosUS Hispanic Electorate Data Hub to Include Latino Voter Registration and Turnout Data for Every Congressional District

WASHINGTON, DC – UnidosUS, the nation’s largest Latino civil rights and advocacy organization, and the USC Center for Inclusive Democracy, a leading nonpartisan research center focused on elections, voting behaviors, and electoral and political participation, announced today updates to the Hispanic Electorate Data Hub that will allow media, researchers and practitioners to see Congressional district-level data on the Latino voting-age population nationwide. This collaboration shines a light on the influential role Latino voters will play in the battle for control of Congress, and on the voter registration opportunity gap of this fast-growing electorate down to the Congressional district level. 

The Hispanic Electorate Data Hub, launched last November to advance a more accurate understanding of the Latino electorate, provides detailed insights into the makeup, distribution and participation trends of these voters, and houses multi-year interactive polling data on their priorities, views on parties and candidates and outreach received. Available on the site are UnidosUS’s most recent surveys of 3,000 Latino voters released in November 2023, and September 2024, and a chart of Hispanic voter influence in competitive Congressional districts. 

Clarissa Martinez de Castro, Vice President of the UnidosUS Latino Vote Initiative, said, “We thank the Center for Inclusive Democracy for their collaboration and partnership. Our goal in making these tools and data publicly available is to provide the context and nuance needed to cover this electorate accurately and engage these voters more effectively. Eight in ten registered Hispanics vote in presidential elections and will be decisive in the winning equations for the White House and Congress. Yet, they report low levels of outreach. Candidates and parties need to redouble their efforts if they want to win the support of these voters.” 

Mindy Romero, director of Center for Inclusive Democracy at the USC Price School of Public Policy, said, “Adding Congressional district-level data to the Hispanic Electorate Data Hub creates a new and unprecedented opportunity for identifying and engaging many more Latino voters, including those who could make the difference in tight congressional races come November. The Center for Inclusive Democracy at USC is excited to contribute to this very important resource.”
