To whom it may concern,
Just wanted to let you know that the Election Assistance Commission just issued glossaries of election terms in five Asian languages. Perhaps you would consider providing a link to these glossaries on your Web site. The information is available here: http://www.eac.gov/voter/language-accessibility-program-1

Thank you for your consideration.
