Prior to the 2016 Presidential election, the majority of Spanish-surname voters cast their ballots on Election Day.
In 2016, compared to 2012, the Spanish-surname early vote increased by 90%, from 79,035 to 150,531.
In the 2018 Midterm Election, compared to the 2014 Midterm, the Spanish-surname early vote increased by 374%, from 28,948 to 133,002.
In both instances, the increase in early voters among Spanish-surname voters did not come at the expense of Election Day voters. That is, almost the same number Spanish-surnamed voters cast ballots on Election Day in the 2012, 2016 and 2018 elections.
In short, early voters are central to the increase of the Spanish-surname vote.
