Voto Latino

Voto Latino is a nonpartisan, non-profit organization in the United States founded in 2004. The organization's primary aim is to encourage young Hispanic and Latino voters to register to vote and become more politically involved. The organization was co-founded by Rosario Dawson, and Phil Colon. The current president is Maria Teresa Kumar.

Voto Latino was created in response to challenges Latino communities faced in both political engagement and technological literacy in the early 2000s. Voto Latino used various social media platforms and telenovela-like videos to engage young Hispanic voters. Voto Latino celebrated their ten-year anniversary one year late in 2015.

Voto Latino is involved with raising awareness about politics for Hispanic voters and also how to register to vote. Because many Latino voters are the first to vote in their families, Voto Latino works to interest young voters. Voto Latino also provides education about United States citizenship for permanent residents of the US. In 2016, Voto Latino went to events and used an app which could quickly register people using their driver's license. The events were part of a campaign with the bands Maná and Los Tigres del Norte called SomosMas2016.
