Comment : | With regard to transliteration ofnamesofcandidateson theballot, the VVSG merely states that a transliteration shall be included on the ballot for written languages that do not use Roman characters. Consideration should be given to the identification of standards to be used in the selection of official transliteration used in the voting system. Input should be sought from industry language standards organizations in conjunction with the diverse language minority groups of American Indians, Asian Americans, Alaskan Natives, and persons of Spanish heritage pursuant to the Voting Right Act (42 U.S.C. 1973aa-la (e), 28 C.F.R. 5 1.2 (2001).
