e-ballot
Online voting slip
An e-ballot is an electronic ballot—a digital version of the paper form used to cast votes.
E-ballots appear in online voting systems, election simulations, and organizational polls: Members can submit their e-ballots through the association's website.
The term emphasizes the digital format rather than the physical act of marking and depositing a paper ballot.
