Voting in local elections will be easier for the city of Morrow’s non-English-speaking residents. The U.S. Census states nearly 50% of the city’s population speaks a language other than English at home. 

The city council voted during their last regular meeting on Aug. 22 to debut multilingual ballots in 2025. 

The ballots were first proposed to the council in July by Councilwoman Van Tran. The controversy around the proposal sparked when fellow Councilwoman Dorothy Dean called Tran’s idea “un-American.”
