Requires boards of elections in cities with a population of one million or more to provide interpreters for designated city-wide languages at poll.
New York Assembly Bill A07134 amends the election law to mandate that boards of elections in cities with a population of one million or more provide at least one interpreter for all designated city-wide languages at poll sites. This requirement applies to poll sites that contain an election district with at least fifty voting age residents with limited English proficiency who speak a designated city-wide language. The state board of elections will establish standards for the number of interpreters needed based on the number of voting age residents with limited English proficiency.
