Comment : | The headset should have a means of increasing or decreasing the volume. All voting materials should be made available in accessible formats. If brochures are available for Voters that have information on the contests, candidates, and issues, they should be available in different formats. This should include absentee ballots, permission to allow someone to assist you in voting, etc. People with disabilities should not be given the same time limit as non-disabled voters. For example, it takes longer to hear the audio to read the ballot, than to visually read it. Vision impaired voters have been told they were taking too long using the audio ballot.
