Comment :  April 21, 2005

The National Association of Protection and Advocacy Systems (NAPAS) would like to provide a few initial comments regarding Version 1 of the Voluntary Voting System Guidelines for the TGDC’s consideration at its April 20-21 hearing.    

COMMENT 1:  Section Two: Functional Capabilities (2B), p. 2-12

[alternatively, p. 2-13]
In order to ensure inclusion of all voters with mental disabilities, 2.2.7.1.7 should be modified to read:

“2.2.7.1.7 Cognitive, or other mental disability”.  Alternatively, 2.2.7.1.7 can be modified to simply read “2.2.7.1.7 Cognitive Mental Disabilities”
