Voting Integrity and Verification Act of 2005

H.R. 704, the Voting Integrity and Verification Act of 2005, proposes changes to federal voting standards to ensure every electronic vote is backed by a physical record. The bill would require voting systems to provide voters with a private way to verify their choices on a paper ballot before officially casting their vote. Additionally, it mandates that election officials maintain these individual paper records to allow for manual audits or recounts, serving as the official record in the event of a discrepancy.
