This 2020, for the first time, Latinos are expected to be the largest minority racial or ethnic group in the U.S., with a projected record of 32 million Latino eligible voters. This represents 13.3% of all voters. However, the number of Latino voters is still low compared to the 60 million Hispanics that live in the U.S.

Eligible Latino voters—citizens 18 years old and above—could play the most vital role in the Democratic Primaries this year. A majority (56%) live in states that will have primary presidential elections and Democratic caucuses on or before ‘Super Tuesday’ (March 03), compared to the 29% in 2016. At a national level, 62% of registered Latino voters identify or lean towards the Democratic Party. 34% of registered Latino voters identify or lean towards the Republican Party.
