Deposit

Definition

A type of VVPAT in which the paper ballot is VOTER-HANDLED but must be deposited into a ballot box before the voter leaves the polling place, as opposed to TAKE-HOME systems. Deposit systems subdivide into two classes, t hose in which the ballot must be deposited and scanned in order to count, and those in which counting is performed electronically after the voter indicates assent to the ballot. The risk in systems not requiring deposit is that the voter may remove the printed ballot from the polling place and use it as a receipt to claim payment in
