Comment :  Comments on Section 6.8.7 Equipment Security and Reliability
6.8.7.2.2 The paper path between the printing, viewing and storage of the paper record shall be
protected and sealed from access except by authorized election officials.
This requirement conflicts with requirement 6.8.5.1.1 which assumes that the voter can deposit the
paper record directly in a ballot box.
In our opinion, voters should not have access to the paper records to prevent the risk of paper trail
manipulation. Therefore, we suggest to eliminate requirement 6.8.5.1.1 which would correct the
current inconsistency with requirement 6.8.7.2.2.
