| Section : | 2.2.7.1.3.5 | Page no. : | | Line no.: | | Comment : | Recommendation: Change "should" to "shall". (Note: Standard 2.2.7.1.2.2.5 is a "shall" for blind voters when the normal procedure is for voters to submit their own ballot. It needs to be a "shall" for voters who lack fine motor skills or the use of their hands and for blind voters.)
The EAC needs to reflect the mandates of Help America Vote Act (HAVA) for a private and independent vote for people with disabilities. Although we represent blind and visually impaired consumers, ACB does not endorse or support a greater level of accessibility for a class of voters with one type disability as compared to a class of voters with a different disability.
