LOS ANGELES – A multilingual voter guide that includes Tagalog and 11 other Asian-language versions has been released by a coalition of Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) organizations to help voters understand ballot measures and voting procedures ahead of the Nov. 3 general election.
AAPI Equity Alliance, a coalition of more than 50 community-based organizations serving approximately 1.6 million Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders in Los Angeles County, announced the release of the guide Thursday.
The guide is available in English and 12 Asian-language versions: simplified and traditional Chinese, Hindi, Japanese, Khmer, Korean, Nepali, Punjabi, Tagalog, Thai, Urdu and Vietnamese.
It provides information about statewide propositions, local ballot measures, voting procedures and voters’ rights, with the goal of making election information more accessible to communities that speak languages other than English.
“With threats around immigration enforcement and other election interference, we want AAPI voters to understand what’s at stake and simplify confusing terminology, in the languages they speak, to make informed decisions when they cast their vote, whether by mail or in person,” said Manjusha P. Kulkarni, executive director of AAPI Equity Alliance.
“Our goal is to provide facts and information and make voting more accessible in these urgent times,” she added.
The guide comes as AAPI voters report strong interest in participating in the midterm elections.
According to a 2026 survey by Asian & Pacific Islander American Vote and AAPI Data, 90% of registered AAPI voters said they planned to vote in the midterm elections, compared with 84% in 2022.
