White Share of Electorate Falls to 61%

Pew reports that about 61% of U.S. eligible voters are White in 2026, a marked decline since 2006, while Hispanic and Asian shares have nearly doubled; the analysis is built from American Community Survey data and Census population projections to estimate citizen eligible‑voter counts. This shift is concentrated in younger cohorts and varies by state, with important regional differences. — A shrinking White majority and faster growth of Hispanic and Asian eligible‑voter shares will reshape campaign strategies, policy priorities, and the electoral coalitions that determine control of offices at multiple levels.
