Line no.:  1
Comment :  3.5 If the normal procedure is for voters to submit their own ballots, then the Acc-VS should provide features that enable voters who lack fine motor control or the use of their hands to perform this submission.

The EAC should amend this language to require accessibility for individuals with disabilities.  This can be accomplished by changing “should” to “shall.”

NJP&A appreciates the opportunity to comment on the proposed regulations and welcomes the opportunity to discuss our concerns further.
