Comment :  [This comment is a proposed addition to Volume I, Appendix C.2 Best Practices for Security - relating to Section 6.8.6. Below is a recommendation suggesting that if voting equipment stores ballot images, such images should  be made publicly available for inspection. This would allow for a better understanding of error rates and provide a way of verifying redundancy between paper and electronic records.]

6.8.6  Electronic and Paper Record Structure

Best Practices

· When ballot images are stored by electronic voting equipment, these electronic images shall be made publicly available.
