“The Cuyahoga County Board of Elections has hired Baldwin Wallace University to study whether and how much its federally-mandated bilingual ballots have helped provide equal access for Spanish-speaking voters.

The board will pay the BWU Community Research Institute $27,000 to study what factors help ballot access for Spanish-speaking voters and to develop recommendations for additional outreach strategies, according to a news release. The evaluation is taking place as a 2010 agreement requiring Cuyahoga County to print all ballots and other election materials in both English and Spanish approaches its May 2014 expiration date.”
