There is NOT requirement of fluency in English to be a naturalized citizens, only very basic knowledge of English is tested and required, and even those over 50/55 are exempt from the testing of basic English.

I agree that voting forms should really only be in English. You have to learn it to become a naturalized citizen and I would hope that any natural born citizens already know it. To play devil's advocate, I guess that some natural born citizens of immigrant parents could be home schooled, thus never being forced to learn English. I think this is a very small demographic however. To apply general productivity/efficiency logic to this, I don't know that it's worth the effort to cover a <1% case. It's not like you even have to read much to register to vote. Get somebody at the voter registration place to help you if you can't understand enough English to fill out basic demographic fields.

You do not need to be fluent in English to be a citizen. The test of English skills is basically giving you three basic English sentences, you have to read ONLY 1 of the three correctly. They next give you THREE tries to write ONE single sentence in English. It is something they spend a month or two learning and afterwards they forget.

Even if the forms were in English only, non-English speaking people could still figure them out. Find the name you want to vote for and fill in the arrow.
