Ahead of the midterm elections, TurboVote partners are working hard to engage voters in communities across the country. Now, voters can access TurboVote’s trusted guidance in more than 20 languages, in addition to English and Spanish. These new options equip partners with additional ways to support their audiences, while helping every voter participate with confidence.
Multi-language support is now available across TurboVote, including the Voting Hub, Election Guides, Sample Ballots, Where to Vote, search boxes, and sign-up tools.
The following languages are currently supported: English, Spanish, Amharic, Armenian, Bengali, Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, Creole, French, German, Greek, Hindi, Indonesian, Italian, Japanese, Khmer, Korean, Polish, Portuguese (Brazil), Portuguese (Portugal), Punjabi, Russian, Somali, Tagalog, Ukrainian, and Vietnamese. For languages other than Spanish, translations are powered by Google Translate.
There are two ways for TurboVote users to access guidance in their preferred language:
1. Users can tap the 🌐 language switcher button located in the toolbar of each page, which opens a menu of all supported languages.
2. Partners can share URLs that take voters directly to a translated page, including TurboVote pages embedded on their site.
See multi-language support in action on these pages:

Coming Soon: Even More Options
Future improvements will expand the scope of TurboVote’s multi-language offerings and deliver a more seamless user experience. Next year, these updates will support additional languages and dialects, and extend multilingual options to SMS and email notifications.
This midterm election year and beyond, Democracy Works is building technology to make voting information accessible for all eligible voters. It’s how we’re powering the voter journey in communities across the country.
