March 13, 2020: The Pew Research Center estimates that 23 million U.S. immigrants will be eligible to vote in the 2020 presidential election. That figure is an all-time high and nearly double the 12 million naturalized citizens eligible to vote 20 years ago.[1]
The largest number of immigrants eligible to vote are Hispanic—7.5 million. The total also includes 6.9 million Asian immigrants and 4.8 million white immigrants.[1]
On a combined basis, naturalized U.S. citizens will make up approximately 10% of the nation’s potential voters, making up roughly 10% of the nation’s overall electorate. According to Pew, “Two-thirds have lived in the U.S. for more than 20 years and 63% are proficient in English.”[1]
