Comment : | New Guideline with “discussion” note (2.2.7.1) 2.1.10 RECOMMENDATION: Add a new guideline at position (2.2.7.1) 2.1.10: “Any voting stations that electronically determine the users vote shall provide audio confirmation of the ballot choices.” New Note: Many individuals can use the standard voting systems, but their operation or font sizes are at the edge of their vision. Particularly, older individuals would benefit from this feature which provides an option of having the choice they have just made read back to them in their headphones, thus avoiding wrong ballot choices of which they are unaware.
