Civil rights advocates are reminding Spanish-speaking voters living in 32 Florida counties that they have the right to access election materials and assistance in their native language before the state's primary on March 17.
"We will be vigilant about the ballots and we will be spreading the message to make sure that every, every citizen will be able to vote in equal conditions," said Revelles.
Ricardo Negrón-Almódovar, a legal services coordinator at LatinoJustice PRLDEF, who represented plaintiffs in, said voters participating in next week's presidential primary should"be on the lookout for Spanish ballots, either a bilingual ballot or separate Spanish and English ballots." Voters should also be on the lookout for signs that can direct them to poll workers able to assist them in Spanish, he added.
Yanidsi Vélez, the senior director of programs and policy at the Hispanic Federation Southeast region, pointed out during the press conference that"the Florida Secretary of State has not published the final rules that establish the procedures to which we must remain vigilant," she said in Spanish.
