Election Day is Tuesday, November 5th

NAPABA has partnered with Asian and Pacific Islander American Vote (APIAVote), which is recruiting bilingual volunteers to staff the APIA Vote Voter Hotline for the 2024 Presidential Election season. 


This is a non-partisan, multilingual informational hotline designed to help members of our community find polling places, understand how to register to vote, and ensure they have timely and factual information needed to get to the polls. 


APIAVote needs persons fluent in Bengali/Bangla, Cantonese, Hindi, Punjabi, Tagalog, Urdu and has a specific urgent need for persons fluent in Korean, Mandarin, and Vietnamese!

Visit NAPABA's Voting Hub for more info

AJSOCAL's focus is making sure every eligible AAPI voter is informed and empowered to exercise their voting rights so they created the Voting Rights Tools and Resource Hub which offers bilingual voters info on their legal rights and protections during the voting process. It is available in AJSOCAL’s 8 Helpline languages: Chinese (Traditional & Simplified), Hindi, Khmer, Korean, Tagalog, Thai, Vietnamese and English.  


They will also be at polling centers, making sure voters have the language access and support they need to cast their ballots with clarity.
