Our vote decides the rules that set our rent, how much we pay at the pump, and what’s in our paycheck. Our vote is powerful, especially as Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders (AAPIs).
Out of the 27 million AAPIs who call the U.S. home, 16 million are eligible to vote this November 3rd, making AAPIs the nation’s fastest-growing racial voting bloc.
This November 3rd, we can use our power to vote for progress. AAPI Equity Alliance’s 2026 Voter Guide analyzes ballot measures in the State of California, County of Los Angeles, and City of Los Angeles with AAPIs in mind.
AAPI Equity Alliance is a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt nonprofit organization. We do not endorse individual candidates.
