Tabletop installations must include adequate privacy. (n) Any audio ballot must provide the voter with the following functionalities: 1. After the initial instructions that the system requires election officials to provide to each voter, the voter should be able to independently operate the voter interface through the final step of casting a ballot without assistance. 2. The voter must be able to determine the races that he or she is allowed to vote in and to determine which candidates are available in each race. 3. The voter must be able to determine how many candidates may be selected in each race. 4. The voter must be able to have confidence that the physical or vocal inputs given to the system have selected the candidates that he or she intended to select. 5. The voter must be able to review the candidate selections that he or she has made. 6. Prior to the act of casting the ballot, the voter must be able to change any selections previously made and confirm a new selection. 7. The system must communicate to the voter the fact that the voter has failed to vote in a race or has failed to vote the number of allowable candidates in any race and require the voter to confirm his or her intent to undervote before casting the ballot. 8. The system must prevent the voter from overvoting any race. 9. The voter must be able to input a candidate's name in each race that allows a write-in candidate. 10. The voter must be able to review his or her write-in input to the interface, edit that input, and confirm that the edits meet the voter's intent. 11. There must be a clear, identifiable action that the voter takes to "cast" the ballot. The system must make clear to the voter how to take this action so that the voter has minimal risk of taking the action accidentally but, when the voter intends to cast the ballot, the action can be easily performed. 12. Once the ballot is cast, the system must confirm to the voter that the action has occurred and that the voter's process of voting is complete. 13. Once the ballot is cast, the system must preclude the voter from modifying the ballot cast or voting or casting another ballot. The functionalities required in this paragraph for certification may be satisfied by either the voting device or by the entire voting system.
