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.
