| Section : | 2.2.7.1.3.5 | Page no. : | | Line no.: | | Comment : | ISSUE 2: ENSURE EQUAL ACCESS TO THE PAPER VOTING PROCESS
Current Standard 2.2.7.1.3.5 –If the normal procedure is for voters to submit their own ballots, then the voting process should provide features that enable voters who lack fine motor control or the use of their hands to perform this submission. (Page 2-24, line 2)
This is exactly the same standard as 2.2.7.1.2.2.5 for blind voters, except it is a “shall” for blind voters and is only a “should” for voters with motor limitations. It is inappropriate for voters with motor disabilities to be denied access that is required for blind voters.
Recommendation:
Change “should” to “shall”. | |
