Why vote?
We understand that our communities are frustrated in the political process. However, we must harness the power we collectively carry. We know that we have to show up for one another—politically engaged communities wield influence. Our focus this year is on the issues that matter most to Asian Americans in Georgia and educating our communities about how these issues show up on the ballot. Our vote is one of the ways that we can ensure that our needs are met through economic opportunities, quality education, affordable healthcare, immigrant rights, and more. We encourage you to vote for those in your community who don’t have access, and for those who are dependent on us collectively ensuring the right to a dignified present. It's time to move forward together to a healthier, equitable, and more just future.
5 reasons why you should vote in Primary Elections
With fewer people voting, every vote carries more weight.
Primaries are an opportunity to put the strongest advocates for our communities up for the general election. Higher turnout in the primaries helps ensure that the candidates nominated for the general election are best representing the needs of our communities.
Primaries can feature ballot measures that need to be voted on.
Primary voters are not representative of the full voting population. Asian American and other BIPOC votes are underrepresented during primaries. More people voting in the primaries means that a one segment of citizens isn’t calling all the shots.
Even if your favorite candidate loses the primary, if they get a good percentage of the votes, there is a good chance the winning candidate will adopt some of their platform to appeal to the broader group of voters.
