Comment :  Volume I, Section 6.8.2.2, at Page 38:

Rewording of 6.8.2.2 to make it less specific but more functional.

Use "magnification" instead of stating a specific font size:

Language in question:

The voting station shall be capable of showing the information on the paper in a font size of at least 3.0 mm,  
and should be capable of showing the information in at least 2 font  
ranges, (a) 3.0-4.0 mm and (b) 63-9.0 mm, under control of the voter or  
poll worker

Change the wording to "magnification up to....".
