NIST Special Publication 500-256: Improving the Usability and Accessibility of Voting System and Products

In the Help America Vote Act (HAVA) of 2002, Public Law 107-252, the Election Assistance Commission is mandated to submit a report on human factors, usability, and accessibility to Congress. Specifically, "...the Commission, in consultation with the Director of the National Institute of Standards and Technology, shall submit a report to Congress which assesses the areas of human factor research, including usability engineering and human-computer and human-machine interaction, which feasibly could be applied to voting products and systems design to ensure the usability and accuracy of voting products and systems, including methods to improve access for individuals with disabilities (including blindness) and individuals with limited proficiency in the English language and to reduce voter error and the number of spoiled ballots in elections."
