Comment : | The inclusion of this language allows for items such as lighting and large-print ballots. However, the discussion is misleading as it intimates that the provision of additional aids such as magnifiers would be appropriate for voters with poor reading vision. ACB recommends that Section 2.2.7.1.2.1.3 be replaced with: “If the normal procedure includes a paper ballot, which is or can be an official vote record, visually impaired voters shall be able to vote and cast the paper ballot through an output that conforms to 2.2.7.1.2. standards.”
