Comment :  ACB believes that the language in this section may not be clear.  As currently worded, this guideline seems to allow for the audio to replace the screen display. This is not helpful to voters with partial vision.  We humbly suggest the following language: "Any voting station using an electronic image display shall provide synchronized audio output to convey the same information as that which is being displayed on the screen."
