NEWS / Justice Department to Monitor Election in Port Chester, New YorkThe Justice Department today announced that it will monitor the municipal election on June 15, 2010, in the village of Port Chester, N.Y., to ensure compliance with the Voting Rights Act of 1965. The act prohibits discrimination in the election process on the basis of race, color or membership in a minority language group. In addition, the act requires certain covered jurisdictions to provide language assistance during the election process. Port Chester is required to provide assistance in Spanish. In January 2008, a federal district court found that the village’s at-large method of electing the village board of trustees violated the Voting Rights Act and prevented Hispanic voters from participating equally in the electoral process, resolving a lawsuit filed by the department’s Civil Rights Division and the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of New York. In November 2009, the court ordered that a cumulative voting system be adopted to remedy this violation, and in December 2009, the department and the village entered into a consent decree, which was approved by the court. The consent decree includes an extensive voter education plan with education and training provisions to ensure that the voters in Port Chester are fully familiar with cumulative voting. The decree also requires that bilingual poll officials will be present at every polling place in Port Chester, and that all election-related materials must be translated into Spanish. The June 2010 election will be the first village election since the entry of the consent decree. Under the Voting Rights Act, the Justice Department is authorized to ask the U.S. Office of Personnel Management (OPM) to send federal observers to areas that are specially covered in the at itself or by a federal court order. Federal observers will be assigned to monitor polling place activities for the election in Port Chester as authorized by the December 2009 court order. The observers will watch and record activities during voting hours at polling locations in this jurisdiction. Justice Department attorneys will coordinate the federal activities and maintain contact with local election officials. http://www.justice.gov/opa/pr/2010/June/10-crt-692.html |
