打破投票障碍:扩大加州选民的语言使用范围
Our democracy is under real and urgent threat, from rampant disinformation and a surge in voter suppression legislation to politicians deliberately showing distrust in election outcomes in order to maintain their own power. And while the state of California and counties in California have adopted various pro-democracy voting practices and procedures, reforms such as vote-by-mail ballots and ballot drop boxes are only beneficial if voters receive election materials in a language they understand.
本报告探讨了加州选举中语言获取的四个关键方面:投票体验、联邦和州法律、语言材料的重要性以及识别加州使用非英语语言的人群的数据限制。
The report, the first of its kind, provides a roadmap to ensure that all voters, regardless of their English language proficiency, can vote fairly and equally.
