<div class=MsoNormal style="font-size:12pt;"><B><SPAN style='FONT-SIZE: 16pt; FONT-FAMILY: "Arial","sans-serif"'>As you may be aware, the Technical Guidelines Development Committee (TGDC), established by HAVA, has begun the process of updating the voting system guidelines. These guidelines are used by most states to ensure that they provide an accessible voting system for voters with disabilities. I am chairing the Accessibility and Usability Constituency Group and our first goal is to identify those “burning” accessibility issues that can and should be addressed by an a set of updated guidelines. <o:p></o:p></SPAN></B></div>

While some access issues may be outside the scope of the TGDC, feel free to submit information on any barrier. The more comprehensive the picture, the better. <o:p></o:p></SPAN></B></div>
