then yes. every ballot must be some form of paper ballot.
each needs to be registered so you know exactly how many ballots are cast or unreturned and there can be no duplicates.

the voters should get a receipt with the ID of the ballot they cast and the ability to track it.

each ballot should be public info with votes cast and the ID and a scan of the actual ballot.
they will still be anonymous unless the voter shares their ID that only they know.

anyone or any organization would have the ability to count the ballots on their own and do a manual recount by viewing the scanned ballots.
