Voter-verified paper audit trails (VVPAT)

Voter-verified paper audit trails (VVPAT) are systems used in electronic voting to provide a physical record of a voter's selections. After casting a vote electronically, the voter receives a printed paper slip that displays their choices. This paper slip is kept secure and can be used to verify that the electronic vote was accurately recorded. VVPAT enhances the security and transparency of elections, allowing for audits and recounts to ensure that the electronic voting systems function correctly and that the election results are trustworthy.
