Name :   David Mertz, et al. Organization :   N/A Post Date :   9/27/2005 Glossary Comments Glossary Term :   Directly Verifiable Definition :   Comment :   Voting system that allows the voter to verify at least one representation of his or her ballot with his/her own senses, not using any software or hardware intermediary. Examples of directly verifiable voting systems include Voter Verifiable Paper Ballots and Marksense ballots. A DRE cannot be directly verifiable, since it by definition relies on an Electronic Voting Machine as an intermediary.
