The Alachua County Supervisor of Elections announced this week that it will offer Spanish-language ballots for the 2020 elections. They are also accepting poll worker applications from registered bilingual Alachua County voters.
This news comes almost two years after Puerto Rico native Marta Rivera Madera and multiple Hispanic voting advocacy groups filed a lawsuit in the U.S. District Court in Gainesville, accusing Alachua County Elections Supervisor Kim Barton and former Florida Secretary of State Ken Detzner of violating the Voting Rights Act.
