tally sheet

Running total document

A tally sheet is a document for recording counts or scores, typically using tick marks grouped in fives.

Poll workers use tally sheets to count votes; warehouse workers track inventory on them.

Any simple record-keeping form where items are checked off or totaled serves as a tally sheet: She kept a tally sheet of customer complaints.
