How to Reach New Asian American Voters? Local Groups and Languages


In Philadelphia, organizations such as Asian Americans United, Southeast Asian Mutual Assistance Association Coalition, and Asian Pacific Islander Political Alliance spearheaded voter registration and education efforts in Asian American communities, offering resources, outreach, and election day assistance in voters' native languages. The Asian Pacific Island Political Alliance reached more than 62,000 voters in 15 languages, and Asian American turnout likely helped sway Pennsylvania's tight Senate race, with roughly 74 percent of the demographic casting their ballots for Democrats.
