Comment : | The Acc-VS shall provide an audio-tactile interface (ATI) that supports the full functionality of a normal ballot interface, as specified in Section 2.4. Comment: I-2.2.7.2.2.2 : During the design and development of the ES&S iVotronic audio only ballot we discovered that the audio only ballot had specific functional requirements that the visual only and audio / visual ballot did not. An example of this is the instructional mode that describes the buttons used for the audio ballot. Also, the usage of "normal ballot interface" may be offensive to some. Recommended Change: It is recommended the requirement be changed to read "The Acc-VS shall provide an audio-tactile interface (ATI) that supports the same capabilities of a visual ballot interface, as specified in Section 2.4."
