2024 Latino Voters

Mecklenburg County’s fast-growing Latino population is estimated to make up 15% of residents, but they account for only 3-4% of voters. That didn't change in this most recent election.

The rising influence of Latinos on elections was put on full display when roughly 45% of that group of voters ticked Donald Trump on their ballots this year.

The number of early voters in Mecklenburg is down by nearly 9% from 2020, but Latino voters in the county showed up in higher numbers.

As the last week of early voting begins, there are now just over 50,000 Hispanic residents in Mecklenburg County registered to vote.

Advocacy groups from across North Carolina sent a letter Tuesday to the North Carolina State Board of Elections to remove Spanish-language signs that tell noncitizens not to vote.

Activists have placed political signs in Spanish telling noncitizens they cannot vote at polling places across Charlotte and North Carolina.

Former President Donald Trump faced some tough questioning from Latino voters Wednesday night. He largely sidestepped those questions in his answers and instead stuck to his broader campaign themes.

North Carolina residents voting in this year’s election will see a constitutional amendment on their ballot on noncitizen voting.

During a town hall outside Miami, Trump touted his record on the economy, yet called Jan. 6 a "day of love" and would not back off false claims about Haitian migrants eating pets in Springfield, Ohio.

The Spanish-language radio network Radio Campesina reaches millions of Latino voters, including in Arizona. It recently launched a campaign to fight false information ahead of this year's election.
