As soon as I turned 18, I was excited to vote in my first election.

My parents are naturalized citizens, both Hmong refugees from Laos, and they vote because they know how important it is to exercise that right in this country. My dad and I can have long conversations from local to world politics. My mom is more interested in what’s happening on a federal level.

It’s so important to talk to your family about this.

And as a fellow AAPI, did you know AAPIs are among the fastest-growing racial and ethnic groups in the U.S., with more than 27 million people nationwide? They’re not a monolith and have varying opinions.

But here’s a statistic that surprised me. AAPI Data’s 2026 AAPI Voter Survey says 42% of respondents said they hadn’t been contacted by the Democratic Party and 58% said they hadn’t been contacted by the Republican Party.

And that survey said community journalists were among the trusted sources of information for AAPI adults. It’s important for us to connect communities with accurate, accessible voting information.

If you want voting info about your state when deadlines are etc., check apiavote.org.

The midterm election is Tues., Nov. 3. Make your plans, vote early, just vote!

Today is Indigenous Peoples' Day! This holiday honors the history, living cultures, and ongoing sovereignty of Native American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander communities. 🌊 🌺

As we celebrate today – we are reminded that honoring Indigenous communities should not just happen on this holiday, but every day, as we work to uplift Pacific Islander voices and in community to advance shared civic interests. #IndigenousPeoplesDay #PacificIslander #AAPI by @apiavote

If you're approached at the polls and feel unsafe, you don't have to answer questions about your citizenship or eligibility from anyone other than a poll worker.

Just like real life, when you're on the internet, you shouldn't automatically trust everything you hear. When you look for election information this fall, go straight to the source. Head to your state and local election official websites for the most updated information on voting and elections.
