How does a campaign make a mistake like this?

From https://notarabic.com/

Edit: there seems to be some confusion about what is wrong with this, I guess we really need those Arabic lessons smh. See my comments or the link @MolotovHalfEmpty@hexbear.net posted.

Ignorant question, but is the font bad or is it just a bad Google translate?

The first Arabic word, for example, should look like this التصويت, but the software printed it from left to right and did not connect the letters, so it came out as ت ي و ص ت ل ا (without the spaces)

The Arabic script is written from right to left and in cursive.

Is there such a thing as non-cursive Arabic script?

[–] Prof_mu3allim@hexbear.net 4 points 1 day ago

Nope, cursive is the only way to write Arabic.
