An electronic ballot is a digital version of a traditional paper ballot used in elections. Voters can cast their votes using electronic devices, such as touch screens or computers, which can streamline the voting process and reduce the chances of human error in counting.
These ballots are often part of a larger electronic voting system that ensures security and accuracy. Many jurisdictions use electronic ballots to enhance accessibility for voters, allowing for features like larger text or audio instructions. This technology aims to make the voting experience more efficient and user-friendly.
