Answer
Technology is used in addition to paper voter lists
Source
IEC 2009 Elections report, p. 61: On election day, all voters were scanned using the voter participation application loaded on the scanners. Each scanner was loaded with the entire voters’ roll… The sequence number made it easy for the officer to find the voter on the
voters’ roll.

The paper voter list is used as a backup in cases technology fails, as is often the case in some stations on election day. This technology is also used to indicate where voters are registered so they can be directed to their right stations.
