Re: why paper at all?
No thank you. That would only serve to reduce the transparency of the process. I have no major quarms about a self service kiosk system that lets people fill out their intention and prints out the form to be placed in the box (real toner on real paper that is, not a receipt printer that fades a week later) but there are a number of practical challenges for handling faulty hardware, and ensuring booth attendants can't ballot-stuff.
