PHOENIX (KNXV/CNN) - Election Day this year falls on Nov. 6. But if you read Spanish and you live in Arizona, you might think it falls on Nov. 8 due to wrong information that was put on Spanish-language voter ID cards.
Charlotte Walker received her voter ID card in the mail and, even though she doesn't speak Spanish, noticed that the Spanish-language information on the card wasn't right.
"I'm not very fluent in Spanish so I checked with some Spanish speaking people and they assured me what I read was correct, it does say the 8th of November," Walker said.
She then called a local news station to inform everyone of the incorrect information.
"I just wanted to let everyone know that the correct date is November 6th for the general election.," she said.
