Comment : | The voting station should mark and preserve electronic and paper records that have been spoiled. Comment: I-6.8.4.3 : The iVotronic does not store an electronic ballot until accepted by the voter. Its VVPAT is an RTAL (real-time audit log) where each voter action is printed and available for review (selection as well as deselection of each candidate as it occurs). When the ballot is accepted, the electronic record is stored and corresponds to all candidates that remain selected on the paper. There is no electronic record to cancel. Recommended Change: The voting station should mark and preserve any paper records that have been spoiled and mark and preserve any electronic ballot that may be stored before the paper ballot is accepted.
