e-voting
Computerized ballot casting
E-voting is voting conducted electronically, whether through dedicated machines at polling places or via internet-based systems.
Proponents cite convenience and faster tabulation; critics raise concerns about security, auditability, and the potential for undetected tampering.
The county switched to e-voting but kept paper backup ballots.
