Mazel Tov! Voter forms translated into Yiddish
Board of Elections expands language accommodation
The Board of Elections is printing voter registration forms in Yiddish this election season, and one Brooklyn lawmaker is hailing the move as an inclusive gesture to the city’s Jewish population.
Assemblymember Dov Hikind said that he had requested back in December of 2015 that the Board of Elections translate voter registration forms into Yiddish.
Up to now, ballots and other materials generated by the Board of Elections had been translated into Bengali, Chinese, Korean, Spanish and Russian.
