Comment : | Electronic Voter Interface: Subsystem within a DRE voting system which communicates ballot information to a voter in video, audio or Braille form and which allows the voter to select candidates and issues by means of vocalization or physical actions. Association: voting, Human factors, HF: accessibility Source: FL Statutes Why is this functionality only defined in the context of a DRE, when EBMs also provide these same functions? Once again, we see the meaning of a general term being skewed to apply to a specific technology when it applies to more than one.
