THE Election Automation Law, Republic Act No. 8436 (RA8436) as amended by Republic Act No. 9369, provides for a set of minimum system capabilities, which includes, among others, a voter verified paper audit trail (VVPAT) or simply a voter receipt.

The printing of the VVPAT is a transparency feature designed to let the voter know that the machine has accurately assessed the marks on his ballot. Recording and counting of votes are done inside the machine and nobody sees how the voter’s selections are recorded and counted.
