The youthfulness of the Latina vote speaks to Latinas’ growing influence. Currently, the mean age of registered Latina voters in the United States is forty-five, compared to age fifty-three for non-Hispanic white women, a difference of eight years. Moreover, the gender gap in voter turnout is particularly sizable among voters between the ages of eighteen and thirty-four, with the Latina turnout exceeding the Latino turnout by six percentage points in 2020. If this trend continues, the outsize influence of the Latina vote will continue to grow.
