to vote is the foundation of American
democracy. Under section 7 of
Executive Order 14019, (Ensuring Equal
Access for Voters with Disabilities),
NIST is directed to evaluate the steps
needed to ensure that the online Federal
Voter Registration Form is accessible to
people with disabilities and identify
barriers to private and independent
voting for people with disabilities and
make recommendations to remove these
barriers. NIST is seeking public
comment on the Draft Promoting Access
to Voting: Recommendations for
Addressing Barriers to Private and
Independent Voting for People with
Disabilities document. The Draft was
developed by NIST using information
collected through the Request for
Information (RFI) that was published in
the Federal Register on June 16, 2021,
review of reports, papers and other
literature, and engagement with
stakeholder organizations and election
officials.
Request for Comment
NIST seeks public comments on the
draft Promoting Access to Voting:
Recommendations for Addressing
Barriers to Private and Independent
Voting for People with Disabilities
document and the draft
recommendations contained in it
regarding both the Federal Voter
Registration Form as well as the barriers
it has identified that prevent people
with disabilities from exercising their
fundamental rights and the ability to
vote privately and independently. NIST
is seeking comment from persons with
disabilities, disability advocacy groups,
assistive technology vendors and
professionals, non-partisan voting
promotion groups, voting technology
vendors, election officials and other key
stakeholders.
The Draft is available electronically
from the NIST website at: https://
www.nist.gov/itl/voting as well as
www.regulations.gov. A comment
template is available at: https://
www.nist.gov/itl/voting. Use of the
comment template is suggested but not
required. Interested parties should

the DATES and ADDRESSES section of this
notice.
Comments containing references,
studies, research, and other empirical
data that are not widely published
should include copies of the referenced
materials. All submissions, including
attachments and other supporting
materials, will become part of the public
record and subject to public disclosure.
NIST reserves the right to publish
relevant comments publicly, unedited
