A VVPAT is an independent verification system used in conjunction with Electronic Voting Machines (EVMs). It allows voters to verify that their vote has been cast correctly by printing a paper slip containing the chosen candidate&#8217;s name and symbol, which the voter can view before it drops into a sealed box.
