Welcome to #MNLatinoVote, COPAL’s voter guide for Latine communities in Minnesota! COPAL plays a key role as a trusted voter education resource, and COPAL Members engage in bilingual phonebanking, doorknocking, texting, and voter mobilization to activate the Latine vote.
Every vote cast is a declaration of your values, your needs, and your hopes for your community.
We believe that when Latine communities vote, we make our voices heard. Your vote helps shape the future.

You can still participate by learning about local issues, sharing reliable voting information, attending public meetings, supporting community-led efforts, and volunteering with voter education efforts. Everyone can play a role in shaping their community.
