In 2019 a re-interpretation of AB-918 expanded the language requirements for counties during elections. Under the new requirements, language access is required when languages represent 20% or more of voting-age residents in a precinct district.

Under these new provisions, California counties needed to add 16 new languages to their communications. With the general elections in sight, there was a need for immediate sourcing and implementation. Avantpage was strategically placed as an established partner with over half of the affected counties to source and meet the communities’ needs.
