Those are called &amp;quot;tamper-evident laser-printed PIN mailers&amp;quot;, but for a voting slip, this term certainly does not apply. But why the voting slip needs to be &amp;quot;non-show-through&amp;quot;? Don&amp;#39;t you mark on the slip in a booth and then put it inside the ballot box immediately?</description></item><item><title>Re: show-through</title><link>http://www.englishforums.com/English/ShowThrough/gvzqw/post.htm#522710</link><pubDate>Wed, 25 Feb 2009 07:50:28 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">946f00bb-57d3-4b7b-a9a2-059b5341af52:522710</guid><dc:creator>Marius Hancu</dc:creator><slash:comments>4</slash:comments><comments>http://www.englishforums.com/English/ShowThrough/gvzqw/post.htm#522710</comments><wfw:commentRss>http://www.englishforums.com/English/comments29-522710.xml</wfw:commentRss><description>transparent</description></item><item><title>Re: show-through</title><link>http://www.englishforums.com/English/ShowThrough/gvzqw/post.htm#522578</link><pubDate>Wed, 25 Mar 2009 07:50:28 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">946f00bb-57d3-4b7b-a9a2-059b5341af52:522578</guid><dc:creator>Feebs11</dc:creator><slash:comments>5</slash:comments><comments>http://www.englishforums.com/English/ShowThrough/gvzqw/post.htm#522578</comments><wfw:commentRss>http://www.englishforums.com/English/comments29-522578.xml</wfw:commentRss><description>Many cheap papers are not opaque, and printing can be seen through them.</description></item><item><title>Re: show-through</title><link>http://www.englishforums.com/English/ShowThrough/gvzqw/post.htm#522570</link><pubDate>Wed, 25 Mar 2009 07:50:28 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">946f00bb-57d3-4b7b-a9a2-059b5341af52:522570</guid><dc:creator>Old Man Gordon</dc:creator><slash:comments>6</slash:comments><comments>http://www.englishforums.com/English/ShowThrough/gvzqw/post.htm#522570</comments><wfw:commentRss>http://www.englishforums.com/English/comments29-522570.xml</wfw:commentRss><description>Since most sheets are opaque, making the distinction seems redundant.

 How do you describe those kinds of sheets? &amp;quot;A sheet that you can&amp;#39;t see through&amp;quot;?</description></item><item><title>Re: show-through</title><link>http://www.englishforums.com/English/ShowThrough/gvzqw/post.htm#522523</link><pubDate>Sun, 25 Jan 2009 07:50:28 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">946f00bb-57d3-4b7b-a9a2-059b5341af52:522523</guid><dc:creator>Clive</dc:creator><slash:comments>9</slash:comments><comments>http://www.englishforums.com/English/ShowThrough/gvzqw/post.htm#522523</comments><wfw:commentRss>http://www.englishforums.com/English/comments29-522523.xml</wfw:commentRss><description>Hi, 
 These voting slips are non-show-through sheets of paper.&amp;quot; 
 Does this sound natural?  Not very. 
 Could you rephrase it, please?  You can&amp;#39;t see through these voting slips. ( or  ballots.) 
 Best wishes, Clive</description></item><item><title>show-through</title><link>http://www.englishforums.com/English/ShowThrough/gvzqw/post.htm</link><pubDate>Sun, 25 Jan 2009 07:50:28 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">946f00bb-57d3-4b7b-a9a2-059b5341af52:522503</guid><dc:creator>Takoyaki-English</dc:creator><slash:comments>10</slash:comments><comments>http://www.englishforums.com/English/ShowThrough/gvzqw/post.htm</comments><wfw:commentRss>http://www.englishforums.com/English/comments29-522503.xml</wfw:commentRss><description>Hello.
