The Asian American Federation is thrilled to announce the launch of Ballot Builder! This?innovative and nonpartisan voter education tool is designed to activate Asian communities in New York ahead of this November’s general election. Asian Americans are the fastest growing electorate in NYC and an increasingly powerful voting bloc that can decide elections up and down the ballot. However, Asian New Yorkers often have lower registration and turnout rates, and immigrant communities with limited English proficiency are particularly vulnerable to election disinformation. That’s why we’re partnering with Branch Politics to launch Ballot Builder, a first-of-its-kind online platform in New York. Tailored to Asian American voters, it provides personalized information on candidates and ballot measures in English and eight additional languages. Available in Arabic, Bangla, Simplified and Traditional Chinese, Korean, Punjabi, Tagalog, and Urdu, Ballot Builder helps break down language barriers to empower Asian voters with the facts they need to make informed choices about our future and our democracy. Check out Ballot Builder here today! https://aaf.branch.vote/
