Comment : | 6.8.1 Display and Print a Paper Record 6.8.1.1 The voting system shall print and display a paper record of the voter's ballot choices prior to the voter making the ballot choices final. V Voting System Vendor Pre-Voting Voting Post-Voting Discussion: This is the basic requirement for VVPAT capability. It requires that the paper record be created as a distinct representation of the voter's ballot choices. It requires that the paper record contain the same information as contained in the electronic record and be suitable for use in verifications and recounts of the election and of the voting station's electronic records. Thus, either only the paper or electronic record could/can be used as the ballot of record for the election.
