Comment : | Comments/Recommendation: To ensure that the voting process is accessible to Individuals with disabilities and compliant with HAVA and the Americans with Disabilities Act, written instructions that are separate from the ballot should be available upon request in alternative formats. Accordingly, the section should be reworded as follows (underlined italics indicate the revision): Discussion: The voter should always be able to get help at the station if confused. DRE voting stations may provide this with a distinctive "help" button. Any type of voting station may provide written instructions that are available and separate from the ballot. such written instructions must also be made available in alternative formats (e.q., Braille. larqe print, audio). Note special requirements for the Acc-VS in requirement 2.2.7.1.2.2.2 (Acc-VS/ATI).
