This year’s election, held nationally on Tuesday, November 5, goes beyond who will represent us in Congress. Voters will also elect representatives at the state, county, and city levels.

Additionally, your vote will determine how Washington and its cities will move forward on important propositions, including reproductive rights, women's health, and other health care-related issues.

Nationally, 36.2 million Latino/as are estimated to be eligible to vote in the 2024 General Election, which has increased from 32.3 million in 2020.
