Glossary Term :  Directly Verifiable
Definition :  
Comment :  Voting system that allows the voter to verify at least one representation of his or her ballot with his/her own senses, not using any software or hardware intermediary. Examples of directly verifiable voting systems include Voter Verifiable Paper Ballots and Marksense ballots. A DRE cannot be directly verifiable, since it by definition relies on an Electronic Voting Machine as an intermediary. See also Indirectly Verifiable.
