Editing DRE voting machine (section)

===2009 German court ruling===
In 2009, the [[Federal Constitutional Court of Germany]] found that with voting machines the "determination of the result must be able to be examined by the citizen reliably and without any specialist knowledge of the subject." They further found the DRE-type voting machines, used in parliamentary elections under current German law,<ref>§35 of the Federal Electoral Act (Bundeswahlgesetz – BWG)</ref> permitted voting machines but were unconstitutional without further qualification. The decision does not ban electronic voting but implements a higher standard.<ref>[http://www.bundesverfassungsgericht.de/pressemitteilungen/bvg09-019en.html German Federal Constitutional Court, Press release no. 19/2009 of 3 March 2009] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090404111620/http://www.bundesverfassungsgericht.de/pressemitteilungen/bvg09-019en.html |date=4 April 2009 }}</ref>
