HONOLULU -- U.S. citizens who speak certain Asian languages can now register to vote using a translated registration form.

The National Mail Voter Registration form is now available in Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Tagalog and Vietnamese.

The U.S. Election Assistance Commission translated the form for citizens.

The EAC says the translation will help election officials make voter registration more accessible to citizens who speak these Asian languages.

The translated forms and other materials to assist voters with limited English proficiency are available from EAC's Language Accessibility Program at eac.gov.

Any U.S. citizen residing in the 50 United States or the District of Columbia may use the National Mail Voter Registration form, with the exception of North Dakota, Wyoming and the four U.S. territories (Puerto Rico, U.S. Virgin Islands, American Samoa and Guam). New Hampshire accepts the form only as a request for its own absentee voter mail-in registration form.
