On Monday, January 29, 2024, from 9 am to 3:30 pm, the Center for Inclusive Democracy (CID) is hosting a democracy summit entitled Building an Inclusive Democracy: Why Equitable Voter Turnout Matters in the 2024 Elections and Beyond.
This is a hybrid event. The in-person summit will be held at the USC Washington, DC campus, 1771 N St. NW, Washington, DC. The agenda, along with speakers, is posted here.
The conference will feature panels of national and local experts who will discuss the state of voter turnout in the U.S. and the challenges and opportunities for the 2024 elections and beyond. CID will kick off the day by holding a media briefing to announce the findings from a new nationwide voter turnout study. CID’s new research report provides an up-to-date profile of Latino, Asian American, and Black voting power throughout the United States. Despite notable growths in the eligible voter population, voters of color have historically been underrepresented in the electorate, creating a substantial opportunity gap.
This report examines the changing demographic landscape in each state and throughout the nation, the participation of eligible Latino, Asian-American, and Black voters in general elections, and identifies the potential electoral influence voters of color will have on national and local elections. The study will also include a breakdown of the role of voters of color in the 2024 elections, including competitive congressional districts. Based on research findings, recommendations will be provided for election administration and community outreach efforts to increase the representativeness of U.S. elections.
