(1) This code shall be liberally construed so that all eligible electors may be permitted to vote and those who are not eligible electors may be kept from voting in order to prevent fraud and corruption in elections.
(2) It is also the intent of the general assembly that non-English-speaking citizens, like all other citizens, should be encouraged to vote.
