Comment : | To facilitate voter turnout many states are reorganizing their precincts and polling stations to create “super precincts” that combine more than one polling place. HAVA requires at least one accessible voting station for each polling place. Although this may not seem fully pertinent to the establishment of standards at first glance, we do believe it does play a role in it. In general, HAVA requires one accessible voting station per polling place. We ask that within the discussion there be inserted some language asking that should the polling place be a designated “super precinct” or other such designation that could be described as the combining of more than one polling place, then that location shall have at least one voting station.
