Young Latinos have voice at ballot box - Group registers 3,000 new voters between 18 and 34 - Oregon

At 17, Woodburn teenager Ana Flores may be too young to vote, but that didn’t stop her from translating her passion for politics into a push to register thousands of Latino young adults to vote.

“We want to make sure the voice of Oregon’s young Latino voters is heard at the ballot box,” said Flores, a student at Woodburn High School and a member of Voz Hispana, a nonprofit group that promotes civic participation by Latinos.

In January, Voz Hispana launched a massive get-out-the-vote campaign aimed at Latinos.”*
