voting booths
Private polling compartments
Voting booths are enclosed spaces where voters mark their ballots in privacy.
The booth—typically a small standing enclosure with curtains or partitions—ensures that no one can see how you vote: She stepped into the voting booth and drew the curtain.
The term extends to any private voting station, even simple cardboard dividers on a table.
