Propose new functionalities for Decidim software
#DecidimRoadmap Designing Decidim together
Most large institutions require using paper ballots for participatory budgeting. We need a smart way to account for them.
Best is to account for them in a seperate way, probably via the admin interface or using a csv import.

Yep, it's also a possibility that the technical identification phase is omitted completely for paper ballots. Then it's obviously much easier to solve.
Here in normal elections the identification phase is separated from the ballot. You identify yourself, you are marked as "voted" and you get the ballot. With that ballot, you can do whatever you like but you only get one, that's guaranteed.
If it's done similarly, the validity check is at the voting locations and extra technical check would not be necessary in Decidim assuming there's no extra conditions on the budgets to be voted on.
For me it's not as much of a security concern. I'm mostly just concerned about the validity of the result and that sometimes we need to check the voter's eligibility based on their metadata (e.g. for district specific votings).
I do understand it's not the case everywhere, so I'm probably overthinking the whole thing.
(I looked for this proposal in the first place because this need arised in one town)
