Dallas County will be required to offer election materials and ballots in Vietnamese in the upcoming March 1 primary — the first time a language other than English or Spanish has been offered.
Texas’ primaries are the earliest in the country, giving Dallas County — the largest county in the state making such a change — a particularly compressed window for the dozens of steps that compliance will require. Solorzano said the tight turnaround made it difficult to recruit enough poll workers for every polling location as required by federal law, forcing the county to rely on a phone-based translation service for most polling locations.
Dallas County narrowly missed the threshold for Vietnamese-language speakers of voting age in 2016, the last time the Census updated the list of included jurisdictions, leading some experts to question why the county did not begin recruiting poll workers prior to being forced to in order to avoid such a steep climb in such a small window of time.
Still, local and national advocates say Dallas County’s response to the new requirement is a good start.
