</div>Actually, an alternative to this might be to in real time, be able to lock each voter
receiving a paper ballot out of eligibility for e-vote while leaving e-vote open. In
such a case, at the time the person requests a paper ballot, you could:<br>
<br>
1. Lock them out of e-vote.<br>
2. Verify they have not yet e-voted.<br>
3. Issue the paper ballot.<br>

In this way, you can leave e-voting open until the close of the election, but still<br>
provide for paper voting as well.<br></blockquote><div><br>You have just stated what i have been trying to communicate. I hope your attempt gets clearer to us all. That is why i said if that online voting platform
