Ballots presented in a single language offer a clearer and more streamlined voting experience. By eliminating the visual complexity of multiple languages on the same ballot, voters can more easily navigate the content, understand their choices, and cast their votes with greater confidence and accuracy. Voters can check and update their language preference using My Voter Status at VoterStatus.sos.ca.gov. Voters may also re-register by paper application or online to update their language preference.
Voters who wish to receive a replacement ballot in a different language may contact the Registrar of Voters office to request one.
