Comment : | Comments/Recommendati on: To comply with HAVA, the language of this section should be modified to apply to all voters with disabilities, not just those who are blind. Additionally, the provisions should be mandatory rather than permissive. The section should be reworded as follows (underlined italics indicate the revision): 6.8.3.5 If the normal voting procedure includes WPAT, the accessible voting station shall provide features that enable voters with disabilities. including those who are blind or visuallv impaired, to perform this verification.
