'''Electronic voting''' (also known as '''e-voting''') is a term encompassing several different types of voting, all of which involve electronic means of casting and counting votes.

== Overview ==
[[Electronic voting]] technology can include punched cards, optical scan voting systems and specialized voting kiosks (including self-contained direct-recording electronic voting systems, or [[DRE]]). It can also involve transmission of ballots and votes via telephones, private computer networks, or the [[Internet]].

== Types of Electronic Voting ==
There are two main types of electronic voting. The first is the '''direct recording electronic (DRE)''' voting system, and the second is the '''public network DRE voting system'''.

=== Direct Recording Electronic (DRE) Voting System ===
In a [[DRE voting system]], votes are recorded directly into the computer memory. The voter usually uses a touch-screen, dial, or button to make their selections. The data is then stored in the machine and can be printed out for verification.

=== Public Network DRE Voting System ===
In a [[public network DRE voting system]], votes are cast on a computer that is connected to a network. This allows for the possibility of remote voting, but also raises issues of voter privacy and the potential for vote tampering.

== Advantages and Disadvantages ==
Like any system, electronic voting has both advantages and disadvantages.

=== Advantages ===
* '''Efficiency''': Electronic voting can be more efficient than traditional paper ballots, with results available almost immediately.
* '''Accessibility''': Electronic voting machines can be made accessible for people with disabilities.

=== Disadvantages ===
* '''Security''': Electronic voting systems are vulnerable to hacking and other forms of cyber attack.
* '''Verifiability''': Without a paper trail, it can be difficult to verify the results of an electronic vote.

== Controversies ==
There have been many controversies surrounding electronic voting, particularly in relation to security. Critics argue that without a paper trail, electronic voting is not secure and is vulnerable to manipulation.
