Calls for Hall County to provide Spanish-language ballots for voters in the next election cycle have been rebuked by local officials despite threats to take the issue to court. “(Hall County) is responsible for complying with federal law and responsible for running elections,” said Jerry Gonzalez, executive director of the Georgia Association of Latino Elected Officials. “If the county refuses to work with us in coming up with a timeline that is suitable for our community and for the county, then we have no choice but to seek compliance with the potential violations of the Voting Rights Act in federal court.” Gonzalez has also requested that Gwinnett County provide bilingual ballots, but officials there have not agreed to do so.
