Comment :  Comments/Recommendation:  
The section should be reworded as follows to ensure that privacy is preserved for voters who are using accessible equipment or ballots (underlined italics indicate the revision):
 
2.1 No information shall be kept within a non-paper-based cast vote record that identifies any accessibility feature(s) used by a voter. Jurisdictions that fulfill their obligations for accessibilitv through the use of voting systems or alternative ballots that are different from the votinq method primarily used at a polling place shall have administration procedures that ensure that these individuals' votes are indistinquishable from other votes.
