Abstract

A voting system (10) and method with a voter verifiable real-time audit log is disclosed. The voting system (10) includes at least one voting terminal (28a-28d) operable to record a plurality of poll worker actions and a plurality of voter actions taken at the voting terminal (28a-28d). The voting system (10) also includes at least one printer (30a-30d) connected to the voting terminal (28a-28d) that is operable to print the poll worker actions and the voter actions on a continuous paper roll so as to create a printed audit log in real-time as the poll worker actions and the voter actions are taken at the voting terminal (28a-28d). Preferably, the paper roll is secured within a locked housing (38) such that the audit log is inaccessible to a voter using the voting terminal. The locked housing (38) includes a display window (40) that enables the voter to review a portion of the audit log associated with the voter in order to verify the voter actions printed on the paper roll.
