Ballot

A ballot is a device used to cast votes in an election, and may be a piece of paper or a small ball used in secret voting. It was originally a small ball used to record decisions made by voters.

The voter casts his/her ballot in a box at a polling station. In British English, this is usually called a "ballot paper". The word ballot is used for an election process within an organisation.
