Comment :  Comments/Recommendation:  
The current wording should be expanded to ensure the instructions are accessible to individuals with a wide range of disabilities. The section should be reworded as follows (underlined italics indicate the revision):
 
The voting system or related materials shall provide clear instructions and assistance that are accessible to individuals with disabilities, inc/udinq those who are blind and visually impaired, so as to allow all voters to successfully execute and cast their ballots independently.
