Comment : | 62 I 6.8.6.3 46 "The records shall include a voting session identifier that is generated when the voting system is placed in voting mode and that can be used to identify the records as being created during that voting session." The discussion goes further "If there are several voting sessions on the same day, the voting session identifiers must be different. They should be generated from a random number generator." Comment: This is an identifier that is unique for a time period on a given day. This is not the ballot key. We do not currently have a solution for this requirement. It doesn't sound like a bad requirement since it provides a way to identify which paper records are tied to a particular voting session.
