Viet Vote Engages Vietnamese Community Ahead of Primary Election

Low voter turnout in the Vietnamese community initiated the formation of a new group to encourage participation in San Diego politics.

Viet Vote volunteer Nancy Phung says the group exists to “build a voice in the Vietnamese community here in San Diego through civic duty, civic engagement, and building leaders.”

The May 22 event in City Heights discussed the five propositions on the California primary election and provided voter resources in Vietnamese.

The primary election is June 5.
