Tally (voting)

Tally in the context of voting refers to the process of counting votes to determine the outcome of an election or a decision-making process. After voters cast their ballots, the tallies are conducted to record the number of votes for each candidate, option, or proposition. The tallying process can involve different methods depending on the voting system being used. In traditional paper ballot systems, voters cast their votes on physical ballots that are then collected and counted by election officials or through automated machines.
