A large majority of polled young Hispanic voters who participated in last November's elections plan to continue voting, according to a newly released poll by Voto Latino and Change Research.
According to the poll, released exclusively to The Hill, 94 percent of 18-to-35-year-old 2018 Hispanic voters who responded said they will vote in 2020 and beyond.
The poll's findings are significant, as low voter participation has historically plagued the Hispanic community.
"They're paying attention. For the first time, Latinos voted almost at par as we did during presidential years," said Maria Teresa Kumar, president and CEO of Voto Latino, a political organization focused on increasing Hispanic voter participation.
