4.4.2.3-D.3 VVPAT, rejected vote election official intervention

When a VVPAT reaches a configured limit of rejected VVPRs per voter or per machine, it SHALL do the following:

  1. Remove any indication of the voter’s choices from the screen;
  2. Place the VVPR that has been rejected into the ballot box or other receptacle;
  3. Clearly display that a VVPR has been rejected and indicate the need for election official intervention; and
  4. Suspend normal operations until re-enabled by an authorized election official.

Applies To: VVPAT

Test Reference: Part 3: 5.2 “Functional Testing”

DISCUSSION

When a VVPAT reaches some limit on the number of rejected VVPRs, it must suspend normal operations and require election official intervention. This must be done in a way that protects voter privacy as much as possible, and that minimizes the chances of misunderstanding by the voter.
