bb) The legislature is not prevented from using electronic voting machines in the elections if the constitutionally required possibility of a reliable correctness check is ensured. In particular, voting machines are conceivable in which the votes are recorded elsewhere in addition to electronic storage. This is for instance possible with electronic voting machines which print out a visible paper report of the vote cast for the respective voter, in addition to electronic recording of the vote, which can be checked prior to the final ballot and is then collected to facilitate subsequent checking. Monitoring that is independent of the electronic vote record also remains possible when systems are deployed in which the voter marks a voting slip and the election decision is recorded simultaneously (for instance with a “digital election pen”, see on this Schiedermair, Juristenzeitung 2007, p. 162 (170)), or subsequently (e.g. by a voting slip scanner; see on this Schönau, Elektronische Demokratie , 2007, pp. 51-52; Khorrami, Bundestagswahlen per Internet , 2006, p. 30) by electronic means in order to evaluate these by electronic means at the end of the election day.


It is certainly ensured in these cases that the voters are in charge of their ballot and that the result of the election can be reliably checked by the election authorities or by interested citizens without any special prior technical knowledge. Whether there are still other technical possibilities which create trust on the part of the electorate in the correctness of the proceedings in ascertaining the election result based on verifiability, and which hence comply with the principle of the public nature of elections, need not be decided here.
