While we have pointed out several areas in the standards that we think could benefit from revision, we think the proposed regulations have implemented the most usable guidelines possible for both voters and election officials when it come to the language requirements for the paper records. As written, the requirements would ensure access for non-English speaking voters, while protecting the functionality required for election officials tasked with reviewing the paper audit trails.
If the VVSG opted for bi-lingual presentation of all items on the paper record, the result would have been a paper record that was more difficult to use for non-English speaking voters and would have created additional logistical problems for poll workers and election officials because of the increased quantity of paper required under that scenario.
