- 1電子投票；若從家裡上網投，較常說「網路投票」
E-voting, in this sense, is voting on the internet: you choose from a computer or phone instead of marking paper in a voting place. Clubs, companies, and some governments try it so people far away can still take part. Though actually, news stories also use e-voting for machines inside a voting place, with no internet from home. That is a looser use. People argue about internet voting: it can be quick, but some worry a hacked system could change the count, or that you cannot hold a paper and check it. The word is used in news and official talk more than in kitchen conversation.
「e-voting」在這個意思上指在網路上投票，用電腦或手機選擇，不用到投票所填紙本。社團、公司，甚至有些政府會採用，讓遠方的人也能參與。新聞報導有時也用這個字來指投票所裡的機器投票，那是比較寬的用法，不需要從家裡上網。
網路投票的好處是快，但也有人擔心系統被駭、票數被改，或是沒有紙本可以親手核對。這個字多出現在新聞和官方用語中，不太常在日常閒聊裡聽到。
