Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Abstract: Given the centrality of the Voting Rights Act for the incorporation of ethnic /racial minorities into American electoral politics, we know remarkably little about the implementation of the act at the state and local level. This paper 1) examines voter access for language minorities under Section 203 of the VRA, which guarantees registration and election materials will be made available in select languages other than English in covered jurisdictions; and 2) analyzes original data, collected from 96 covered counties in 15 states, on the actual availability, determined by on-site field visits, of translated registration materials; and 3) determines the impact the availability of translated registration materials on minority voter registration and electoral turnout, using data on registration and voting data for Spanish-surnamed voters by county, supplemented by Census data.
