Since the Refugee Act of 1980, the U.S. has welcomed about 3 million individuals seeking safety and has allowed them to call this country home. These individuals become eligible for citizenship after 5 years of living in the US on a green card and all US citizens are eligible to vote. Refugees who are now citizens are important voters in our communities. For the 2024 General Election, priority attention has been given to candidates running for Federal or State office in Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Ohio. While no exact number of total former refugee voters exists, we know that these states are home to thousands of resettled individuals and communities that have been present in the US for many years and even decades.
