Glossary Term : | Paper Record
Definition : |
Comment : | Paper Record: Paper ballot image or summary that is a copy of the electronic record and that is verifiable by a voter. See also ballot image. Association: voting, security Source: no attribution This definition is inconsistent with definition of ballot image, which is not voter-verified. Assuming voter verification is not necessarily consistent with usage of this term. Further, this is another example of a general term whose meaning is being skewed towards a specific technology. A marksense paper ballot is also a paper record, but not according to the above definition.
