Comment :  ACB applauds the use of additional instructions and materials to assist voters in the independent casting of their ballots.  However, ACB believes that it is essential that these instructions and materials are available in an accessible format for individuals with disabilities, specifically those who are blind, visually impaired or deaf-blind.  This could take the form of Braille, large print or audio.  ACB recommends that language be added to the abovementioned sections incorporating the requirement that any written instructions, materials or information be made available upon request in alternative format.
