For a mobile voter app, to connect Latinos to voter registration information
To empower and engage young Latinos, the Silicon Valley Community Foundation will team up with Voto Latino to create a mobile app that will connect voters to information about voter registration. The multifaceted mobile voter application will be available to Apple and Android devices, and will target young Latinos – currently the fastest growing segment of the U.S. population. It will explain the voting and registration processes, provide details on prerequisites and answer frequently asked questions.
