EAC to Provide Spanish Language Glossary of Election Terms

EAC to Provide Spanish Language Glossary of Election Terms

The U.S. Election Assistance Commission (EAC) today voted to adopt a glossary that provides a translation of key election terms from English to Spanish and from Spanish to English. The glossary is available at www.eac.gov and EAC will distribute copies to jurisdictions throughout the nation.

“We had an obligation to update this helpful tool for Spanish-speaking voters and the election officials who serve them, and I am very pleased to announce we have gotten the job done,” said EAC Chair Donetta Davidson. “Thank you to staff and everyone who helped us update this glossary for the first time since 1979.

“But our work is not done -- next we will translate this glossary in other languages such as Chinese, Japanese, Vietnamese, Korean, and Tagalog to ensure that election officials have the tools they need to help all of America’s voters successfully cast their vote.”

The Glossary of Key Election Terminology contains 1,843 terms and phrases used in the administration of elections in the United States. To ensure the translations were culturally and linguistically appropriate, terms were translated and reviewed by a multi-dialect team of translators representing four of the main regions of origin of the Hispanic population living in the U.S. Those regions are Mexico, Puerto Rico, Cuba, and Central America.

Click to view the article The fallacy of information overload
Wednesday, 23rd May 2012

A lot of the talk around social media in the last year has been around information overload. Social media has provided us with new and exciting ways to create content. But it has also meant learning new ways to manage and engage with social media tools. Are we teetering on the edge of an information overload precipice?


Click to view the article Information overload: fact, fantasy or filter failure?
Wednesday, 23rd May 2012

Information overload is a figment of your imagination. Or a failure of your filter. Or a symptom of your technological submissiveness. Depends on who you ask.

Tuesday, 22nd May 2012

What if you had to sort through 3.5 million articles and social media posts a day and try to pull out the most relevant items for your organisation? What if you then had to cobble it all together into something readable for your top groups and executives in your organisation?
