Therefore, their policy issues and preferences should be seriously considered by both the Republican National Committee (RNC) and the Democratic National Committee (DNC). With the voters registration campaign, we want to have at least million plus Indian american voters in this election"

FIIDS also had launched a comprehensive survey of Indo-Americans to gather their views on both domestic and global policy matters important to them. This survey covers both U.S. international issues, domestic concerns both mainstream and diaspora related. The results will be shared with media outlets, the Democratic and Republican parties, and individual candidates, ensuring that Indo-American voices are represented in the policy-making process. The survey indicated that 89% Indo American expressed US-India relations is the top external affairs issue, followed by 85% considered the US Competitiveness, and 84% concerns about aggressiveness of China's Communist Party. On domestic issues, 84% gave importance to law & order (public safety) and border security, following 80% felt concerns about religious phobia and hate crimes against religious minorities of Indian origin.
