I don't into politics at all, but shouldn't something like this, which to me seems distorting a message to force votes, be illegal?
Clearly the message here in the other languages doesn't have the part in red translated.

But yeah, if you go to a country and gain citizenship, learning the language should be the basic requirement for voting.

I think it's more for people who's English isn't perfect, not for those who can't speak it at all.

No hablo ingles y ni tampoco las lenguas de las negratas de la arena. No puedo leer el anuncio, pero quiero votar. Qué debo hacer?

But even if you learn English as a second language, you're far more comfortable in speaking your native language 9 times out of 10. And just because you have to take an English-language test to get a citizenship doesn't mean that you won't forget it after some point of time.

Really, making these things in more than 1 language is a slight inconvenience if even that for the people making it, and an outstanding convenience for non-English speakers.

Thank God for that then, eh. Just what this country needs: more uninformed people voting.

If you need to be told in a foreign language how to vote, how can you possibly have a decent enough grasp on the political landscape to vote in an informed manner? While I'd love to think Labour's just looking out for the people more comfortable in their mother tongue, this is nothing more than a cynical vote grab from a desperate party.

Hm, if this is something that's new (which isn't the case where I'm at), then what you're saying is almost certainly true as the motivating reason for Labour doing this.

Welsh isn't even on there.

I mean, if you were going to do a different language, might as well be a somewhat local one like Welsh or Scottish Gaelic (albeit barely used).

Probably an appeal to the lower-class, and most likely less well-informed voters.
