Comment :  A. THE HUMAN FACTORS CHALLENGE: USERS ARE AN INTEGRAL PART OF THE VOTING SYSTEM

3. Defining The Accessibility Requirements  

SPECIFIC RECOMMENDATIONS:  

"An Acc- VS shall provide accessibility to voters using their own personal assistive device." Examples should be provided. The provision needs a "Comment" that this may not always be possible as there are multiple hardware protocols for various assistive devices (e.g. PS2, USB), but that vendors should strive to accommodate as many as possible.
