Ballot casting is the process by which voters submit their choices in an election. This can be done in various ways, including in-person voting at polling places, mail-in ballots, or electronic voting machines. Each method ensures that voters can express their preferences for candidates or issues on the ballot. Once a voter has completed their ballot, it is securely collected and counted. The integrity of ballot casting is crucial for a fair election, as it helps maintain public trust in the democratic process. Election officials implement measures to protect against fraud and ensure that every vote is accurately recorded.
