Glossary Term :  E-Voting
Definition :  
Comment :  In response to your request for comments on the draft glossary of voting system terminology, I offer the following, picking up with the letter D, having completed A through C in previous comments. As before, in each case, I am quoting the original and then offering an alternative definition.

E-Voting: (1) Term frequently used to refer to DREs and other types of electronic voting equipment, but may be misleading as it implies remote access via a computer network or the Internet. (2) Election system that allows a voter to record his or her secure and secret ballot electronically. See also DRE, Electronic Voting Machine.  

E-Voting: Electronic Voting.  

-- Comment: Neither definition cited as sources is very good, and the glossary is missing the obvious term that spells out this abbreviation!
