Amendment H.4963
This bill requires that ballots for elections in the town of Randolph be printed in both English and Haitian Creole, in addition to any other languages currently mandated by law. It applies to all state and local elections, ensuring that voters in this specific community receive materials in their native language. The state secretary is assigned the responsibility of covering all costs associated with producing these bilingual ballots. By overriding existing state laws and local charters, the measure guarantees language access for Haitian Creole speakers during the voting process.
