With polls tightening four days before the presidential election, voting is becoming increasingly crucial. And with 27.3 million eligible Latino voters in this historic election (up from 24 million in 2012), it’s clear that Latino turnout can have a dramatic effect on who becomes the next president. However, when it comes of heading to the polls, we end up lagging behind other ethnic groups. The New York Times reports that roughly the same percentage of eligible Latinos – about 48 percent – voted in the 2012 election as in 1988.

In the 2012 presidential election, a record 11.2 million Latinos voted. This number’s expected to rise this year due to Donald Trump’s anti-immigrant rhetoric. And though Trump and Hillary Clinton have spent a chunk of this election focusing on their immigration platforms, it’s hardly the only issue on the line. This election will have ramifications on health care, minimum wage, and the economy. The next president will also pick at least one Supreme Court Justice – a person who will tip the scales one way or another.

Here’s what they had to say in their own words:
