Comment : | IVS recently submitted a formal application to the California Secretary of State to commence testing toward State certification. It is my understanding that the EAq anticipates releasing the final version of the VVSG within the next six weeks. As California's Secretary of State will likely review the VVSG in conjunction with the certification process tjelative to NS and other voting systems, it is crucial that the final version ofthe VVSG contain the flexibility to permit paper-based telephone voting to fulfill disability access requirements. As such, I respectfully request that the EAC carefully review the VVSG to ensure that all of the sections are written broadly so as to consider the full range of paper-based systems that cobld be used including the recent emergence of telephone voting.
