The bill aims to enhance access to elections for language minority groups in Washington State by requiring county auditors in designated "covered counties" to provide electoral materials and assistance in the languages of these groups, in addition to English. A county qualifies as a covered county if at least 2.5% of its voting-age population belongs to a single language minority group with limited English proficiency, and the illiteracy rate among this group exceeds the national average. The Secretary of State is tasked with designating these language minority groups every five years based on census data and must notify counties of their designations, which must be implemented within 365 days.

Additionally, the bill establishes a grant program to support counties that voluntarily choose to provide electoral materials in languages other than English, contingent on available funding. The definitions of key terms such as "illiteracy," "Indian reservation," "limited English proficiency," and "single language minority group" are also included to clarify the bill's provisions. Overall, the legislation seeks to ensure that all citizens, regardless of language proficiency, have meaningful access to the electoral process.
