Comment :  Alter “should” to “shall.”  This is a simple alteration allowing greater usability for all voters and would be especially helpful to voters with visual impairments and to voters with cognitive disabilities.  Adding the phrase ‘without activation’ affords a blind and visually impaired user to tactually identify and orient to buttons or controls on voting machine without premature activation of the he button or control function.
