Imprecise

• 6.8.5.4: The voter shall not be able to leave the voting area with the paper record if the information on the paper record can directly reveal the voter’s choices. There is no definition of a voting area in the requirement or glossary. Is this the voting booth, an enclosure where multiple booths are segregated, or the polling place?
