On March 15th, 2018, SAAPRI and the Indo-American Center (IAC) hosted a Young Professionals phone banking event where youth reached out and encouraged fellow South Asians in the region to vote in the 2018 Illinois primary election, as part of our 2018 Get Out the Vote (GOTV) efforts.
South Asian Americans are much less likely to vote than other groups in the US, and even less so during the primary. Within that, young Asian Americans between 18-35 are the least likely to participate.
