A voting system and method that provides a printed confirmation of voting selections made comprises a voter interface for receiving voting selections made during a voting session; a processor for creating a voting record including the voting selections made during the voting session; a memory for storing the voting record; a printer for storing the voting record on a human readable and/or optically readable printed paper, and providing the printed paper for verifying the voting selections printed thereon. A voting session identifier may be utilized to provide transparency of each and every vote and may maintain the anonymity of the vote and voter.
