Description
According to The Miami-Dade County Elections Office, in the 2020 general elections, female voters participated at a higher rate (76%) than male voters (73%). In addition, female voters also have a higher level of voter registration (52%) than males (43%). As the 2024 election comes into focus, women in Miami-Dade and across the country are showing heightened interest in policy, legislation, and governmental budgets. There is a greater sense of concern among women stemming from legislation surrounding restrictions to reproductive freedom, access to childcare, voting rights, and more, motivating many, regardless of political party affiliation, to be more civically engaged.
By leveraging women’s electoral power, we can work towards a future where women’s voices are fully represented, and their civic engagement shapes a more inclusive and equitable society.
