Electronic voting systems are technology-based methods used to cast and count votes in elections. These systems can include devices like touch-screen machines or optical scan systems that read paper ballots. They aim to streamline the voting process, making it faster and more efficient while reducing human error. These systems often incorporate security features to protect against tampering and ensure voter privacy. Many countries have adopted electronic voting to enhance accessibility, allowing more people to participate in the democratic process. However, concerns about security and reliability continue to be important topics of discussion among election officials and the public.
