行政可核查性为选举官员提供了防止某些错误和欺诈的手段。这通常是通过像纸质审计跟踪这样的工具来完成的，这些工具可以进行手动重新计票和抽查。公共可验证性使用加密和相关工具，使任何公众成员都能够独立地完全验证选举计票的准确性。尽管公开可验证性在技术上是一个更高的标准，但其复杂性使其对许多人没有吸引力。这就提出了一个问题，即是否有可能在不牺牲常用的传统行政核查工具的情况下实现公开核查。
本文介绍了验证光学扫描-一个简单的设计，其中行政和公共验证是可能的，两者紧密相连，以实现一致的结果。
Administrative verifiability gives election officials the means to protect against certain kinds of errors and fraud. This is typically accomplished with tools like paper audit trails that enable manual recounts and spot checks. Public verifiability uses cryptographic and related tools to enable any member of the public to independently fully verify the accuracy of an election tally. Although public verifiability is technically a higher standard, its complexity makes it unappealing for many. This raises the question of whether it is possible to achieve public verifiability without sacrificing the traditional administrative verifiability tools in common use.
This paper introducesverified optical scan -- a simple design wherein both administrative and public verifiability are possible and the two are tightly linked to achieve consistent results.
