Latino wards are lagging behind in voter turnout and registration for the 2023 Chicago mayoral election.
Early voting numbers show turnout in many Latino wards is historically low, so influential organizers are partnering to try to educate and energize voters.Volunteers went door to door in Brighton Park as part of the effort to reach Latino voters across the city.
Getting out the vote is critical for Latinos. While they make up an estimated 29% of Chicago's population, they represent only about 8% of registered voters in the city. There are an estimated 130,000 Latinos out of the 1,582,277 total registered voters in the city."Voters cannot afford to sit back; you have the power, we have the power. But we have to use it or lose it in this election," said Karina Ayala-Bermejo, CEO of Instituto del Progresso Latino.
