History
![[icon]](/wiki/File:Wiki_letter_w_cropped.svg){kind=small} | This section needs expansion. You can help by adding to it. (March 2009) |
The Southwest Voter Research Institute was established in 1984 to seek the opinions of the Latino electorate and to publicize those findings. In 1997, the Southwest Voter Research Institute was changed to the William C. Velasquez Institute (WCVI) as a way to honor and perpetuate Velasquez' vision and legacy.[3]
This is relevant today because of the growing clout of Latino voters. [4]
