- Potential increase in voter disenfranchisement due to paper ballots potentially being easier to manipulate or miscount.
- Higher likelihood of errors in vote tabulation, leading to challenges and disputes over election results.
- Risk of slower election processes due to manual counting and verification of paper ballots, potentially delaying election outcomes.
