From the meeting
This September 30, 2026 report found California counties covered by language assistance requirements had 2020 turnout 7 to 14 points higher than comparable counties. It recommended expanding covered languages, including Arabic, and improving translated votable ballots, staffing, and outreach. The signal is policy and program design, not a contract award, but it points to future language-access work tied to election operations.
