California Registered voters.
Policy Brief Issue #1. CCEP. August. 2012. http://regionalchange.ucdavis.edu/projects/california-civic-engagement-project-ccep
The Latino and Asian percent of the state’s general registration has been on the rise, increasingly for every general election in the decade. For Latinos – an increase from 17.3 % in 2002 to 21.2 % in 2010. For Asians – an increase from 6.3 % in 2002 to 8.1 % in the 2010 general election.
However, the proportion of state registration that is Latino and Asian has remained far below the proportions of these groups in the state’s overall population. In 2010, Latinos made up 37.6% of the general population, with the Asian proportion at 13.1 %.
