There is, if a significant percent of the population does not speak English as a foreign language.
The issue, especially with paper ballots, having any language ready go go just isn't feasible. One polling location could have many different precincts, each with its own ballot.
I think electronic machines should be programmed to support many languages, but if there is a paper ballot, and you don't speak English, getting an absentee ballot is probably easier. Then you can translate it at home.

Like another poster mentioned, we have 30 languages standard and compulsory voting,so I'm still trying to get my head around the ebb & flow.Thanks for the concise reply randomperson. I know it sounded obtuse, but if you don't ask you don't know
