Comment : | Section 2.2.7.2.2.6 If the normal procedure includes VVPAT, the Acc-VS should provide features that enable voters who are blind to perform this verification. If a state requires the paper record produced by the VVPAT to be the official ballot, then the Acc-VS shall provide features that enable visually impaired voters to review the paper record. While the Standards Board addressed this, we believe this recommendation is still unclear and can be interpreted in multiple ways. This recommendation should be rewritten to make it clear how visually impaired or blind voters perform the verification of their votes with VVPAT.
