e-voting (electronic voting)
e-voting (electronic voting) :
E-voting is an election system that allows a voter to record his or her secure and secret ballot electronically. E-voting technology includes direct-recording electronic machines (DREs) with touch screens and optical scanners. Electronic votes are stored digitally in voter access cards until they are sent to a centralized location where tabulation programs compile and tabulate results. Advocates of e-voting point out that electronic voting can reduce election costs and increase civic participation by making the voting process more convenient. Critics maintain that without a paper trail, recounts are more difficult and electronic ballot manipulation or poorly-written programming code could affect election results
