Enlace Latino N.C., a statewide Spanish-language news organization, has for the first time published a voters guide that gives users specific information on candidates by county.
The group has published basic voter guides since 2018, but the 2026 version includes names of candidates running for federal, legislative, judicial and local offices, and important voting deadlines.
The guide, which Enlace Latino calls the “North Carolina electoral map,” links to the North Carolina State Board of Elections online sample ballot form, so voters can find their choices for each race.
The county-level information includes how many Latino voters live there, which is intended to aid voter outreach efforts.
“As part of our civic education efforts and as a tool for Latino voters, we always try to develop this type of resource that is practical, educational and accessible,” Enlace Latino cofounder Walter Gomez said in an interview.
“We know the voting process can be difficult, not only for the Latino community, but also for many other people, for citizens in the United States,” he said.
The site is nonpartisan, Gomez said, and is meant to help voters no matter which candidates they choose.
Latino voter registration in North Carolina has more than doubled over the last 10 years, and now stands at 4.5% of total registrants. But turnout of Latino voters has lagged behind other groups.
About 56% of Latino voters cast ballots in the 2024 general election, while turnout was more than 78% for white voters, nearly 68% for Asian American voters, and 66% for Black voters, according to the state Board of Elections.
Elections are often decided by very few votes, Gomez said, which is why increased voter participation is important and why Enlace Latino is working toward that goal.
Enhancements planned for the general election guide later this year include candidate photos and short descriptions of where they stand on issues, Gomez said.
