Definition
This refers to a voting system's ability to provide a voter-verifiable paper audit trail (VVPAT). The voter's choices are displayed under glass or plastic (out of reach of the voter to avoid manipulation) and the voter confirms or denies that they are the choices they intended to vote. If this capability exists but the machine has not yet been federally approved, it is noted in the Electronic Voting Machine Information Sheet.
