English isn’t my first language. Can I get a ballot in my native language?

Maybe. Call your county elections office to find out in what languages your county has the ballot available.[271] If your county doesn’t have ballots in your native language, you can bring an interpreter with you to vote (but this person can’t be your employer or labor union officer).[272]
