touchscreen voting

Tap-to-elect interface

Touchscreen voting is casting a ballot by tapping selections on an electronic display rather than marking paper.

The voter touches candidates' names or options directly on screen, then confirms choices before submission.

Touchscreen machines became widespread in U.S. elections after 2000, though concerns about security and auditability have led some jurisdictions back to paper ballots.
