- Definition 3
Internet voting refers to voting by returning a marked ballot through the use of a web portal, but also includes e-mailing voted ballots. With the proliferation of Internet fax services, we can presume that many voted ballots returned to election officials via fax have also in fact been transmitted through the Internet. Internet voting thus can mean voting from a web portal accessed through an Internet browser on one’s personal computer, or by email attachment, or electronic fax, as well as voting via a remote kiosk, or other means of remote electronic transmission.
- Definition 4
The act of casting any ballot in a public election or referendum via the Internet.
