(Note* Actually section 2.1, not 1.1)

1.1 An independent dual verification voting system produces two distinct sets of records of ballot choices via interactions with the voter such that one set of records can be compared against the other to check their equality of content.

Discussion:  This is the fundamental core definition for IDV systems.  The records can be checked against one another to determine whether or not the voter's choices were correctly recorded.
