No. H.R. 550 preserves HAVAs existing disability access requirements and the timing and conditions under which they are required to be implemented. It also adds to those requirements, by mandating that voter verification mechanisms be made accessible to individuals with disabilities, and that the entire voter verification process be made accessible to individuals with disabilities. Voter verification mechanisms for use by individuals with disabilities may print the voter verified record on paper, or on another individualized, permanent medium.
