Welcome to VotePersian.com. We are a nonpartisan, informational platform that connects Iranian-American candidates with their constituents. Iranian-Americans have made, and continue to make, a positive professionally, socially and culturally but do not have a corresponding voice in local or national politics. We hope VotePersian.com empowers our community to learn more about Iranian-Americans entering politics throughout the country, regardless of political affiliation.
