This study argues that the overall low turnout rate among Asian Americans presents an overall average in turnout, with high variability among the major population subgroups. This variation between the Asian American subgroups can be explained by the barriers to participation that are perceived by each individual group (language, culture, and historical legacy). This study shows that these three barriers have an uneven effect across the voting-eligible Asian American population, due to the heterogeneity of the group as a whole. Using data from the Pew Research Center, the United States Census Bureau, and an analysis of the latest peer reviewed literature, this study determines the extent to which each of the six major Asian American subgroups are inhibited from participating in the political process. The conclusions drawn by this research could potentially impact mobilization efforts by politicians and party activists, as well as establish trends for future voter participation.
