The biggest spike in election searches Tuesday was for "donde votar"
It’s Spanish for “where to vote” — raising hopes about Latino turnout.
The top-trending search in the United States on Election Day 2018 is where to vote — in Spanish: “dónde votar.”
Google said as the midterm elections were underway on Tuesday that searches of where to vote in Spanish surged by 3,350 percent, making it the top trending search on the platform. For comparison, searches for “who to vote for today” spiked by 1,350 percent, and “voter turnout today” jumped 450 percent.
Google’s data measures the percent increase, not the total number of times the terms are searched. There are still far more searches for “where to vote” than “dónde votar” nationally, and more searches for just “voting” than for either. But it’s the Spanish term that’s seen the biggest growth, possibly signaling a surge in interest among Spanish-speaking voters.
A Pew report released last month found that half of Latinos said that their situations had worsened over the past year, compared to 32 percent in the weeks after the 2016 election. About six in 10 registered Latino voters said they were more enthusiastic to vote in 2018 compared to the last congressional elections.
