Definition : |
Comment : | The text of the ballot (sense 2) when that text is printed on a label affixed to a vote recording device instead of being directly printed on a paper ballot (sense 1). This term is used primarily with mechanical lever and punched card voting systems, but it also applies directly to several direct-recording electronic voting machines that use paper ballot labels. Where ballot (sense 2) is presented on a computer display screen, the term ballot presentation should be used.
