Discussion:  
This requirement exists to make clear that it is possible to use the paper  
record for checks of the voting station's accuracy in recording voter's ballot choices, as well as usable for election audits (such as mandatory 1% recounts). The paper record shall also be suitable for use in full manual recounts of the election.
