1. Electronic machines powered by OSS
- Provides fast counting, and potentially better UX in scenarios with large number of items to vote on
- Ability for the public to review the code
2. Machines print copy of ballot that voter can verify before being placed in a secure ballot box
- Provides auditable backup record
3. Machines give the option to print a second copy of the ballot with a unique code. This code can be used to verify selections later via some kind of online interface.
- Gives the user one more check on ballot integrity
- Allows voter to keep voting record anonymous if they choose
I think this would balance pros/cons of pure paper vs. electronic voting systems
