Summary

The bill creates a Language Assistance for Elections Act that obligates counties, cities, and townships to offer election materials and support in languages spoken by limited‑English‑proficient voters when certain population thresholds are met. The Secretary of State must post which jurisdictions and languages are covered, supply certified translations, and provide voting‑technology tools, while reimbursing local costs. This aims to ensure non‑English speakers can fully participate in voting.
