Voter participation is essential to a functioning democracy, yet disparities in both turnout and representation persist across racial and ethnic groups.

This infographic compares the weighted average racial and ethnic breakdown of U.S. voters and turnout over the past three elections with the composition of the 119th Congress. By placing these datasets side by side, it highlights ongoing gaps in both civic participation and political representation.


When elected bodies reflect the populations they serve, it can strengthen decision-making and public trust. Understanding the relationship between voter participation and representation underscores the importance of encouraging broad civic engagement and supporting pathways to inclusive leadership.
