The registration deadline for the 2024 primary elections is Feb. 20th. This year is a critical opportunity to push for justice. Please ensure every family member & friend has registered to vote.
Why should I vote?
Local elections are particularly sensitive to voter turnout. Frequently, candidates win and ballot measures pass by a marginal difference. For many local positions, only the top two vote-getters in the primaries move on to the general election in November. There are an estimated over 1 million Muslims in California – enough to make a meaningful difference.

Racial Diversity and Belonging Assessment Survey
On behalf of the Muslim American Society, the Muslim Anti-Racism Collaborative is conducting a Racial Diversity and Belonging (DB) assessment survey to understand the unique needs of our various chapters.
Your candid answers will help us develop a tailored curriculum and create resources across MAS chapters to help us strengthen the bonds in our communities.
This survey should take 5-10 minutes of your time and has a mixture of multiple-choice and a few open-ended questions.
Your responses will be anonymous. link: https://masnational.org/diversity-survey
Please share this survey with MAS members, former MAS members, people close to MAS. The more responses we get for each region, the better equipped we will be to address challenges and plot a path to a more diverse MAS that is representative to the Muslim community at large.
