Voters in three Georgia counties will have access to multilingual election materials this presidential election.

Gwinnett County is legally required to translate ballots and other materials into Spanish. DeKalb County and Athens-Clarke County are proactively translating materials.

“Language disenfranchisement is a factor in voting rights,” said Anar Parikh, a senior policy analyst for Asian Americans Advancing Justice – Atlanta.
