Your Vote Counts
After proving instrumental in key primaries in states like California and Texas, the Hispanic vote gains even more importance as Election Day approaches. "Candidates can't afford to disregard the Latino vote," says Javier Angulo of the National Association of Latino Elected and Appointed Officials (NALEO). If you didn't vote in the primaries or caucuses, you still have time to join the electoral process. Thanks to the Internet, in a matter of clicks you can register to vote, find your polling place, learn about absentee ballots and early voting, and read the candidates' positions—often in English and Spanish. Organizations and media outlets—such as Impremedia, LULAC, mun2, NALEO, NCLR, Telemundo, and Univision—are educating voters. So as you prepare for the Fourth of July, keep in mind another patriotic date: the fourth of November.
Look for AARP Segunda Juventud’s election guide—with exclusive interviews with the presidential candidates—in the fall.
