WASHINGTON, DC-- Asian American Pacific Islanders (AAPIs) participated Tuesday in an election that will go down in history with high turnout rates-- especially among minorities, new voters, and young voters. APIAVote partners and coalitions in 14 states turned out thousands of voters yesterday in the efforts to increase civic participation in the fastest growing minority community in the nation.

WASHINGTON, DC—Thirty-four percent (34%) of all likely Asian Americans voters remain undecided between the two presidential candidates, a National Asian American Survey revealed. The survey highlights the potential impact of Asian Americans—numbering 7.2 million eligible voters in 2006—in highly contested and leaning states such as Nevada, Virginia, Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Ohio.

National Day of Action is Last Big Boost to Register Almost 7 million Eligible AAPI Voters in 14 States!  There are 34 days left until the election!  And only 5 days left for many states (CO, FL, HI, MI, OH, TX, PA, and VA to name a few) until the deadline to register to vote.

We encourage you to REGISTER TO VOTE if you have not already.  On Saturday, October 4, 2008 - APIAVote, along with dozens of National and Local organizations are participating in a National Day of Action to register voters.
