Though profuse, this is a result of individuals exercising their rights and encouraging others to do the same in aspiration to shape a system that will favor their liberty and progression.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This presidential election will mark history for the Latinx community. With a projected 32 million eligible voters, Latinxs are expected to be the nation\u2019s largest racial or ethnic minority in the U.S. presidential election. With 40% of the population vote in New Mexico and 30% in California and Texas, Latinx voices are being represented and amplified.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, when exercising our rights, we must also be educated and confident in the fundamental laws put in place to protect us. These are cemented not only in our presidential elections, but in effect during elections year round.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;<strong><u>Basic Rights<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>You have the option to vote early<ul><li>Note: All states have different deadlines to begin and end early voting.

This can be a relative, friend, or anyone else. The only people not allowed are employers or agents of the voter\u2019s union, or the candidates themselves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Jurisdictions covered by Section 203 of the Voters Rights Act are required to have resources for bilingual voters in specific languages; Gwinnett County is an example of this. This includes poll workers proficient in the languages and election materials as well election-related information.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>To check if your location is protected under this section visit:<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.census.gov\/content\/dam\/Census\/newsroom\/press-kits\/2017\/esri\/esri_uc2017\">https:\/\/www.census.gov\/content\/dam\/Census\/newsroom\/press-kits\/2017\/esri\/esri_uc2017<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.census.gov\/content\/dam\/Census\/newsroom\/press-kits\/2017\/esri\/esri_uc2017_voting_rights_act.pdf\">&nbsp;_voting_rights_act.pdf<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What if I go to the poll and am told my name is not registered?<\/h1>\n\n\n\n<p>If you are early voting and have time before the end of an election, reevaluate your status and registration (this being your information and voting location).
