Comment:
Refers to maintaining the
privacy and anonymity of non-
English voters. The discussion
section states: "One method
for achieving this is to ensure
that no less than, e.g., five
voter use any of the alternative
languages for their ballot
selections."

Recommended change:
recommend removing this
requirement from the standard

Rationale:
The suggested solution cannot
be implemented by the voting
system vendor. It would have
to be implemented by the
election officials, making sure
that they get at least 5
Vietnamese voters on a
particular eSlate/Vbox pair.
