Every election cycle, Georgia becomes the center of the political universe. Ad buys blanket Atlanta television. National consultants, party strategists and surrogates land at Hartsfield-Jackson, while pollsters and analysts dissect turnout from Savannah to Rome.
Yet amid all that attention, one constituency keeps getting treated as an afterthought: Asian American and Pacific Islander Georgians, one of the fastest-growing electorates in the state and one with a proven record of deciding who wins.
More than 368,000 AAPI Georgians are now eligible to vote, 4.6% of the state’s electorate, according to AAPI Data and APIAVote. Between 2014 and 2024, our eligible electorate grew 76%.
