Language Access Plan
To ensure all individuals who are eligible to vote but need access to information about voting, elections, and civics in languages other than English get access to that information, including Limited English Proficiency (LEP) residents, AdamsVotes created a Language Access Plan (LAP).
Some sections of the LAP will be on this page, where they will be regularly updated.
