This study examined the voting practices of marriage immigrant women in South Korea. Drawing on in-depth interviews with Filipina and Vietnamese women, I show how marriage immigrants’ voting becomes a site of bargaining and political empowerment, wherein women negotiate their legitimate belonging within a patriarchal host society. Seen as a family affair, voting decisions are the result of women’s constant negotiation over time of the norms and expectations of the gender and ethnic hierarchies that they face within the family and community. I challenge the use of voting in immigration scholarship as the primary indicator of immigrants’ understanding and internalization of the host country’s political system. Instead, the present study highlights the need to examine the context in which immigrants’ political citizenship is realized and the meanings immigrants give to the practice of voting.
