Comment : | In the requirement, "The paper record shall contain all information stored in the electronic record.", the discussion language below the requirement actually clarifies the requirement intent to have the paper record display all information 'relating to ballot choices'. It would seem appropriate to use the same language in the actual requirement. This would make the requirement clearer to developers of voting systems and the test labs that qualify them. Proposed change: Add the words "relating to ballot choices" after the word "information", so that the requirement reads as follows, "The paper record shall contain all information relating to ballot choices stored in the electronic record."
