52 U.S. Code § 21081 – Voting systems standards
Per Col. Shawn Smith: “52 U.S. Code § 21081(a)(3) requires an accessible voting system IF the jurisdiction uses a VOTING SYSTEM in an election for Federal office. For example, IF a state, county, or township uses a voting system (defined under (b)), then it must also have an accessible voting system. If the jurisdiction does not use a mechanical, electromechanical, or electronic voting system, then there is no Federal law which requires the use of an accessible voting system.”
