Language Accessibility Advisory Committee: Call for Members

The Secretary of State is calling for volunteers to serve as committee members on the Language Accessibility Advisory Committee (LAAC). The mission of the LAAC is to advise and assist the Secretary of State’s Office with implementation of federal and state laws relating to access to the electoral process by voters with limited-English proficiency, so that all persons who vote can understand the voting process. The LAAC will also provide recommendations identifying and prioritizing activities, programs, and policies to ensure every voter has equal access to the ballot. The committee will consist of at least 15 members who have demonstrated language accessibility experience and knowledge of methods for presenting election materials in ways that are easily understandable by members of the public, at least three of which will be county elections officials. LAAC members are volunteers and serve at the discretion of the Secretary of State. LAAC meetings will be held monthly at publicly accessible teleconference sites in Sacramento, Los Angeles, and the Bay Area (and other regions as necessary). The deadline for applications is January 15, 2016, and appointments will be announced in early February. Applications and filing instructions are available on the Secretary of State’s website at http://www.sos.ca.gov/elections/language-accessibility-advisorycommittee.
