NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) -- A proposal that would require a paper record for voters' ballots in Tennessee is headed for a full Senate vote.

The measure sponsored by Sen. Joe Haynes, a Goodlettsville Democrat, unanimously passed the Senate Finance Committee on Monday. The companion bill is scheduled for a full House vote on Tuesday.

The bill would require that the paper trail process be in place no later than 2010.

Besides verifying a voter's selections, the paper trail would also be used in recounts or random samplings testing the accuracy of electronic voting machines.

A report released earlier this year by the Tennessee Advisory Commission on Intergovernmental Relations shows only two of Tennessee's 95 counties keep a paper trail of voters' ballots and recommends all state counties adopt the practice.
