New Delhi: It may be the melting pot of America, with more than 200 languages being spoken in it, but the ballot papers in the US presidential elections on November 5 will have only four other languages apart from English.
And Bengali represents the Indian languages in this list.
“We are required to service four other languages besides English. It is Chinese, Spanish, Korean and Bengali as the Asian languages,” NDTV reported Micheal J Ryan, Executive Director, Board of Elections, NYC as saying.
However, the inclusion of Bengali on ballot papers is not just a courtesy but a legal requirement. By law, New York City is obligated to provide voting materials in Bengali at certain poll sites. This mandate extends beyond just ballot papers to include other essential voting materials, ensuring comprehensive language support for Bengali-speaking voters, the report added.
