Indian national communications strategist and Capitol Hill veteran Anang Mittal has launched what he calls a first-of-its-kind voter data initiative focused on Indian Americans. He describes it as the first nonpartisan, open civic data platform created specifically for and about the Indian American community.
In a post on his official X account, Mittal promoted the newly launched website for his civic data effort, the “Indian American Voter Atlas,” tied to the 2026 U.S. election cycle. The platform went live on Feb. 23, months before the midterm elections scheduled for later this fall.
According to Mittal, the initiative is designed to map and better understand the political footprint of the Indian American diaspora across the country.
The platform, voteratlas.io, presents structured civic data focused on Indian Americans across the United States. Its debut comes as the community continues to rank among the fastest-growing immigrant-origin groups in the country.

Positioned as a public-facing data resource, the initiative aims to encourage more informed and authentic representation of the diaspora. At the same time, it seeks to highlight demographic shifts and patterns of political participation within the community.
The free dashboard, built on what Mittal describes as a neutral framework, compiles data tied to the civic engagement of Indian Americans nationwide. It tracks how members of the community are strengthening their presence in public life, from city councils and state legislatures to federal offices.
“We’re the highest-income ethnic group in the United States, and we’re concentrated in some of the most competitive congressional districts in the country. In 2024, Indian Americans had one of the most dramatic partisan shifts of any demographic group in American politics,” as per Mittal in a blog post.
Mittal’s launch statement did not go into much detail about the methodology behind the Indian American Voter Atlas. The live, database-backed dashboard currently features an interactive map and eight data layers, organized under sections such as House Districts, Senate 2026, 2024 Election, Economic Presence, Community Safety, Discourse Monitor and Methodology.
The House Districts section stands out for showing how Indian American communities align with their respective congressional representatives. It also calls attention to Indian American lawmakers who are part of the current congressional cycle.

“Each district card includes the current representative, Cook Political Report competitiveness rating, our proprietary Persuasion Index score, Economic Presence Index score, and an interactive map with three color modes: Persuasion Index heat, Economic Presence, and political competitiveness,” Anang Mittal wrote in a blog post.
Washington, D.C.-based Rohit Sharma applauded Mittal’s effort, calling it “a break through moment in U.S. politics.”
He wrote on X, “Now you can see how many Indian American voters live in any given district & the impact they will have in US Presidential, Congress, State & Local elections. Kudos!!”
Columnist and podcaster Aadit Kapadia shared a similar sentiment, posting, “This is a fantastic effort by my friend @anangbhai .. The one and only comprehensive such effort which track the Indian American voters across US and how seats might swing. Nothing like this has been done before.”
California corporate attorney Vishal Ganesan described the platform as an “awesome resource.”
Renu Mukherjee, a former fellow at the Manhattan Institute, wrote, “Incredible work by @anangbhai! The Indian American Voter Atlas will be an indispensable resource for anyone interested in studying Indian American voters and politics.”
