Eligible voters are defined as U.S. citizens ages 18 and older. Eligible voters are not the same as registered voters. To cast a vote, in all states except North Dakota, an eligible voter must first register to vote.] It also contains data on other major groups of eligible voters in Nevada.[2. The terms \u201cHispanic\u201d and \u201cLatino\u201d are used interchangeably. References to \u201cwhites,\u201d \u201cblacks,\u201d and \u201cAsians\u201d are to the non-Hispanic components of those populations.] All data are based on Pew Hispanic Center tabulations of the Census Bureau\u2019s 2008 American Community Survey.[3. This statistical profile of eligible voters in Maryland is based on the Census Bureau&#8217;s 2008 <a href=\"http:\/\/www.census.gov\/acs\/www\/\">American Community Survey<\/a> (ACS). The ACS is the largest household survey in the United States, with a sample of about 3 million addresses. The data used for this statistical profile come from 2008 ACS Integrated Public Use Microdata Series (<a href=\"https:\/\/usa.ipums.org\/usa\/\">IPUMS<\/a>), representing a 1% sample of the U.S. population. Like any survey, estimates from the ACS are subject to sampling error and (potentially) measurement error. Information on the ACS sampling strategy and associated error is available at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.census.gov\/acs\/www\/Downloads\/data_documentation\/Accuracy\/accuracy2008.pdf\">http:\/\/www.census.gov\/acs\/www\/Downloads\/data_documentation\/Accuracy\/accuracy2008.pdf<\/a>. An example of measurement error is that citizenship rates for the foreign born are estimated to be overstated in the Decennial Census and other official surveys, such as the ACS (see Jeffrey Passel. \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/hispanic\/2007\/03\/28\/growing-share-of-immigrants-choosing-naturalization\/\">Growing Share of Immigrants Choosing Naturalization<\/a>,\u201d Pew Hispanic Center, Washington, D.C.
