Glossary Term :  Electronic Vote Capture System (EVCS)
Definition :  
Comment :  Election system than encompasses DREs as well as EBPs when the latter are combined with a Ballot Scanner.  

Explanation: The term ABP is not used in the draft. Since BallotScanner is defined elsewhere the dependent clause explaining its meaning is superfluous or misleading. Several concepts other than VVP* are equally or more closely associated with EVCS.
