Current vvpat systems ensure that voters who are blind have the opportunity to verify their ballots through an audio read-back of all the selections they have made. These voters are protected in the same manner as sighted voters through the machine’s production and retention of a paper record that reflects the entirety of their selections.
Does this requirement anticipate an additional review features in the future? If so, presumably the enactment of a future requirement would take into account both the future availability of technology to address an additional level of verification as well as provide assurances that such a feature would retain the independence and privacy afforded to blind voters in the current deployment of vvpat functionality.
