This work builds on the prerendered user interface (PRUI) approach for high-assurance voting software with a new design that supports synchronized audio and visual output, as well as concurrent input from a touchscreen and an alternate input device. This new design offers access for voters with a range of disabilities while retaining the benefits of PRUI voting systems: the user interface can be independently designed and audited, and the software needing verification is much smaller and simpler. This paper discusses the challenges of supporting accessibility in this architecture, explains how these challenges were addressed, and describes the resulting design. To demonstrate the feasibility of this approach and to establish a point of reference for the simplicity of voting machine software, this design has been implemented as a program called Pvote, in 460 lines of Python.
