America's
Newest Voters:
Understanding Immigrant and Minority Voting Behavior
The material presented in this research section has been
designed as a resource for journalists and students interested
in minority and immigrant voting in the 2004 election. It includes
general information pertaining to the upcoming primary and general
elections, such as a schedule of primary election dates and turnout
rates in the previous presidential election.
In addition,
information is presented that addresses the political participation
of the minority population in particular. There are also links
to resources on minority and immigrant political behavior, as
well as links to recent polls on the 2004 presidential election
and politics in general. The web-based material serves as a companion
to a scholarly volume of essays that currently is being compiled
addressing the topic of minority and immigrant political behavior.
Contact Jane Junn,
professor of political science, Rutgers University, or Elizabeth
Matto, visiting associate, Eagleton Institute of Politics, for
more information.
