[alternatively, p. 6-41]

In order to be consistent with HAVA’s mandate that voting be accessible to voters with disabilities, not just those who are blind, 6.0.1.1.1 should be modified to read:

“6.0.1.1.1 If the normal procedure includes VVPAT, the accessible voting station shall provide features that enable voters with disabilities, including those who are blind to perform this verification.”

Responsible Entity: voting system vendor
Process: voting

Discussion: This requirement is repeated from Section 2.2.7 and included here for emphasis.”
