Comment : | Comments/RecommendatIon: The language of this section should be modified to apply to voters who are blind and those who are visually impaired as HAVA requires. Additionally, the provisions should be mandatory rather than permissive. The section should be reworded as follows (under/ined italics indicate the revision): If the normal procedure includes VVPAT, the Acc-VS shall provide features that enable voters who are blind or visuallv impaired to perform this verification. If a state requires the paper record produced by the VVPA T to be the official ballot, then the Acc-VS shall provide features that enable voters who are blind or visually impaired voters to review the paper record.
