Glossary Term :  Voter Verified Audit Record
Definition :  
Comment :  (1) Human-readable printed record of all of a voter’s selections presented to the voter to view and check for accuracy.
Association: voting
Source: IEEE 1583

The voter verified audit record must be accessible to voters who are unable to check that record for accuracy simply by viewing it. Recommend changing this definition to read:


Human-readable printed record of all of a voter’s selections presented to the voter to check for accuracy, either by visual or non-visual (e.g., audio) means, before that voter’s ballot is cast.
