Mujeres in Action releases Spanish-language voter pamphlets

In 2020, about 65% of Latinos in Washington were eligible to vote but didn’t register. Some could argue it’s because the registration is hard to understand.

A local nonprofit is trying to change that. For the first time, Mujeres in Action released a translated voter pamphlet in Spanish to increase voter involvement and are distributing copies to nonprofits and schools the Spokane area.

Jacquelyn Garcia-Angulo, community organizer of Mujeres in Action, said the nonprofit will also release six videos in English and Spanish about the importance of voting starting Monday on the group’s website.

The League of Women Voters has also released translated voter ballots in nine languages and are accessible through their website.
