Create ballot content in multiple languages so every member can participate in the language they're most comfortable with. You provide the translations — ElectionChamp makes them easy to add.
Add ballot content in any language your voters need. No limit on languages.
Each voter picks their preferred language when they open the ballot.
Multi-language support is available on every plan, including free.
ElectionChamp doesn't auto-translate your ballot — and that's by design. Election content is too important for machine translation. You (or your bilingual team members) provide the accurate translations, and we give you a simple way to add them alongside the original content.
When a voter opens their ballot, they select their preferred language from a dropdown at the top. The entire ballot — candidate names, descriptions, instructions, and options — switches to that language instantly.
Voters pick their language on the ballot
The language experience doesn't stop at the ballot. You can customize your notification messages — the election launch email, reminders, and confirmations — in multiple languages as well. This ensures voters receive communications they can actually read and act on.
When voters see an election invitation in their own language, they're far more likely to open it, understand it, and vote.
Reach every voter in their language
Adding languages takes just a few extra minutes during election setup.
Build your election in your primary language as usual — candidates, descriptions, instructions, and ballot items.
For each language you want to support, add the translated versions of your ballot content. Paste in translations from your team or translator.
When voters open their ballot, they see a language selector and can switch instantly. Same ballot, same security, different language.
Any organization with members who speak different languages benefits from removing language as a barrier to participation.
Many residential communities include owners and residents who speak different languages. Multi-language ballots ensure everyone understands what they're voting on — especially for complex bylaw amendments and special assessments.
Union membership often spans multiple language groups, particularly in construction, manufacturing, and service industries. Providing ballots in workers' native languages increases participation and ensures informed voting.
Associations, cooperatives, and nonprofits with membership across multiple countries or regions need ballots that serve a geographically and linguistically diverse base.
ElectionChamp supports Unicode, so you can add ballot content in any language — including languages with non-Latin scripts. Here are some commonly used languages by our customers:
Any language that can be typed on a keyboard works. You provide the content — no character or script limitations.
No, and that's intentional. Election content is too important for machine translation. You provide the accurate translations — from your bilingual staff, a professional translator, or community members — and add them during election setup. This ensures voters get precise, accurate content in their language.
There's no limit. You can add as many languages as your voter population needs. Each language gets its own complete set of ballot content — titles, descriptions, candidate information, and instructions.
When a voter opens their ballot, they see a language selector at the top of the page. They pick their preferred language, and the entire ballot switches to that language instantly. They can switch back and forth at any time before submitting their vote.
