BBC World Service - Boston Calling, Every 30 seconds

Every 30 seconds, a young Latino in the US turns 18. Their votes count more than ever

Every 30 seconds, a young Latino in the US turns 18. Their votes count more than ever.

Approximately every 30 seconds, a United States citizen of Latin American descent, reaches the voting age of 18. This year, 32 million Latinos are projected to be eligible to vote. Latinos are one of the largest demographic groups in the US. We’ll learn about the history of the ‘Latino vote’ in the US, we’ll meet young Latino voters, and we’ll look into how both major US political parties are trying to gain young Latino support in the lead-up to the election.
