June Primaries 2021: More Language Translation Services to be Available at Polling Sites
The NYC Civic Engagement Commission (CEC) will provide additional translation services in 11 languages at select poll sites during the upcoming June primary elections, with the aim of encouraging greater voter participation among New Yorkers with limited English proficiency (LEP). Although some voters in City Council District 11 and District 15 will already be familiar with the still, relatively new electoral system of ranked choice voting, having participated in the recent special elections on March 23, the upcoming June 22 primaries will be the first occasion when the majority of New Yorkers will engage with this new voting system.
