| Section : | 2.2.7.1.2.2.6 | Page no. : | 22 | Line no.: | 1 | Comment : | 2.2.6 If the normal procedure includes VVPAT, the Acc-VS should provide features that enable voters who are blind to perform this verification. If a state requires the paper record produced by the VVPAT to be the official ballot, then the Acc-VS shall provide features that enable visually impaired voters to review the paper record.
The U.S. Election Assistance Commission should revise the proposed guidelines to require accessibility for individuals with disabilities. Therefore, the language should be amended to state that “ the Acc-VS shall provide features,” ensuring that the paper trail is accessible to individuals with visual impairments. | |
