Comment : | As currently worded, this guideline allows for the audio to replace the screen display. This is not helpful to voters with partial vision. The section should be reworded as follows (asterisks indicate the revision): "Any voting station using an electronic image display shall provide synchronized audio output to convey the same information as that which **is being** displayed on the screen." In addition, another section (2.2.7.1.2.1.10) should be added to explicitly state that the audio may not replace the screen display but shall be available simultaneously with the screen display.
