House Bill 2477 amends the Election Code to require a political subdivision, if the director of the census determines that the political subdivision is required under federal law to provide election materials in a language other than English or Spanish, to provide election materials in that language in the same manner in which the political subdivision would be required to provide materials in Spanish under state law, to the extent applicable. The bill requires the secretary of state to prepare the translation for the election materials for various state prescribed voter forms and to include appropriate ballot translation language for each language certified statewide or in a specific county by the director of the census on a general election ballot for state and county officers, statewide and district offices, president and vice president, and a proposed constitutional amendment.
