ballot papers

Marked voting slips

Ballot papers are the sheets on which voters mark their choices in an election.

The term is standard in British English and Commonwealth countries; Americans typically say ballots alone.

Election officials counted the ballot papers by hand.

Spoiled ballot papers were set aside for review.
