TEHRAN (IQNA) – The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) is urging all American Muslims to check their voter registration status and make a plan to vote today.     

Muslim Americans urged to vote

 

Today is the Tuesday, Nov. 8, and the midterm elections are being held in the US.

CAIR is also sponsoring a robocall broadcast before the midterm elections, targeting more than 500,000 Muslim voters in households with landlines and working with its national network of state chapters to host texting banks reaching out to more than 575,000 registered Muslim voters’ personal cellphones.           

During the night of the November 8th elections, CAIR will conduct an exit poll of Muslim voters to determine which presidential candidate Muslim voters supported and by what margin. The poll will be posted on Thursday, November 10, at CAIR.com and Muslims.Vote.     

CAIR is also urging Muslim voters to make use of its 2022 Midterm Elections Congressional Scorecard and Sample Questions for Candidates and Government Officials Toolkit. 

CAIR’s congressional scorecard reflects the voting performance of all the elected representatives and senators in U.S. Congress that are up for re-election in the 2022

CAIR estimates there are well over 1.2 million registered American Muslim voters in the United States, with large communities residing in key swing states. A recent CAIR survey indicates that 91.2 percent of registered Muslim voters intend to vote in the November 8th General Elections.     

Last week, CAIR and Jetpac released the first national directory of local, state and federal elected Muslim officials and judges.
