Civil Rights advocates ask Dearborn for voting ballots in Arabic
DEARBORN, Mich. – A new push is underway in the city of Dearborn which has the nation’s highest density of Arab Americans to have more voting information and ballots in Arabic language.
Advocates are calling for ballots in Arabic for voters who do not speak English.
“What we had to do last election, we actually had to bring volunteers to translate voter registration forms and to translate their ballots inside with them, so they did not have those services for us,” said Nada Al Hanooti, executive director of Emgage Michigan.
