Interesting paper here: http://www.vreceipt.com/article.pdf
Also being discussed on Slashdot here:

This method doesn't require false receipts (Forest's scheme). It lets
you verify that you selected the candidates you think you selected
before leaving the voting booth, but doesn't give any externally
verifiable evidence (after you leave) of how you voted. It does allow
you to use your receipt at a future time to verify that your vote was
recorded. But if you forget who you voted for, it won't help you
remember (hopefully your ballot is important enough to you that you
won't need a reminder).
I wonder if anyone here can find any flaw in this proposal? And is
there a simpler way to accomplish the same capabilities?
