A county elections official may choose to prepare and make available an official ballot translated into Spanish for any election. If a county chooses to prepare and make available a Spanish language official ballot the following procedures must be followed:
(1) Not later than the 70th day before any
election the county elections official must notify the Division in writing of
the official's decision to prepare and make ballots available in Spanish. The
notice must include the method by which Spanish ballots will be made available
to electors and the method by which those ballots voted and returned by the
last day to receive ballots will be tallied.

material the county elections official must use the Secretary of State's
certified vendor for translation; and
(3) The cost of translation must be paid
directly to the vendor by the county.
