CAA | Breaking Barriers to the Ballot Box: Expanding Language Access for CA Voters

“Breaking Barriers to the Ballot Box: Expanding Language Access for California Voters” was co-authored by Chinese for Affirmative Action with other members of the California Language Access Workgroup. The first of its kind, this report provides a roadmap to ensure that all voters, regardless of their English language proficiency, can vote fairly and equally. It explores four key aspects: the voting experience, federal and state laws, the importance of in-language materials, and data limitations for identifying populations in California who use non-English languages.
