1. You cast your vote in the eVote machine, but it's isn't yet recorded.
2. A paper receipt is issued.
3. The user wants to change their vote, so they change it on the Evote machine.

Do they get another receipt? What happens to the original receipt?

This didn't appear to mean that a receipt is issued to the voter. Besides, you don't want that ever to happen.

Think about it. A system that allows tracking a vote for Smith to voter Jones destroys the secrecy of the ballot. Which in turn opens up a major can of worms: voters that cannot keep their votes secret will be subject to all manner of illegitimate pressure. Listhing the many forms which this pressure will take is left as an exercise for the reader.

My county uses this type of vote machine. When you are ready to finalize your vote, the voting machine prints a copy of the ballot one page at a time for you to view and verify. The printout is behind a sheet of glass and is retained in the machine. I don't know how it is marked if you decide to change your vote. Here are the local instructions on the machines' use.

You are bringing up excellent questions.

The printed 'receipt' won't necessarily match the tallies, either.
