Comment : | Definition: With respect to direct recording electronic voting systems (DRE's), a paper printout that captures from the electronic memory each ballot cast on a voting system, which election officials may use to crosscheck the total votes cast. With respect to optical scan voting systems, punch card voting systems and traditional paper ballot voting, the actual voted ballot shall serve as the permanent paper record, which election officials may use to crosscheck the total votes cast.
