Tamperproof electronic voting?

Electronic voting has serious drawbacks. In fact, I would not recommend it for general elections. It would just be too easy to hack (look here).

Paper based voting has its own drawbacks, as recent events in Kenya show.

An article in the New York Times describes a way to combine electronic and paper voting in a way that allows the public to scrutinise the results.

Very nifty.
