As drafted, this requirement places a constraint on voter behavior not on the
voting system. We recommend the following that may solve that problem
and resolve an ambiguity (“voting area” - which does not appear in the
Glossary) as well:
“The system should not store or otherwise tabulate the ballot if the
voter leaves the polling place with a paper record that can directly
reveal the voter’s choices.”
