In this paper we address the problem of recovery from failures without re-running entire elections when elections fail to verify. We consider the setting of $\textit{dual voting}$ protocols, where the cryptographic guarantees of end-to-end verifiable voting (E2E-V) are combined with the simplicity of audit using voter-verified paper records (VVPR). We first consider the design requirements of such a …
