Voting

Voting is the act of selecting an option or making a decision from a list of alternatives, typically used in the context of selecting a representative or making a decision within a community or organization. It involves the participation of eligible individuals who have the right to cast their vote and have their voice heard in the decision-making process.From: Techniques and Sample Outputs that Drive Business Excellence [2019], Innovation and equality: an approach to constructing a community governed network commons [2022]

In most states, there are multiple pathways by which voters can cast a ballot, and the accessibility of each pathway can influence voter turnout. Figure 1 illustrates the two main pathways, which are typically divided into “in-person” or “absentee”. With in-person voting, a voter obtains and casts a ballot at their assigned polling location, typically on an election day. With absentee voting3, a voter requests a ballot be sent to them and the completed ballot is then returned either through the mail or using a drop box. In some states, voters must provide a reason to vote absentee, whereas in 34 states there is “no-excuse” absentee voting (National Conference of State Legislatures, 2022).
